HEEM’s Membership and Registration Committee fulfils a crucial role in the
Institute’s commitment to benefiting healthcare engineers and estates management professionals via membership and support in achieving professional registration.

demand for membership and accreditation. A number of training days have been delivered to members to progress their learning and understanding of the membership and registration processes, which will continue to be supported by Head Office and existing reviewers and interviewers.

After completing many years of study attending college on a day release and evening basis, I was awarded an ONC and an HNC, with numerous endorsements, which at the time allowed me to become a Chartered Engineer once I had the necessary responsible role at Kingston Hospital.
