IHEEM is partnering with Air Sentry and GPT Consult to deliver the annual Authorising Engineers Conference on 6 July at Epsom Racecourse in Surrey. The theme of the Conference is ‘Making the Standard’, with the programme developed by the Institute’s specialist Technical Platforms.

Delegates will include IHEEM-registered Authorising Engineers, members of IHEEM’s Council, senior employees within the NHS, tradespeople working within the healthcare sector, private sector engineers, and apprentices (our future workforce).” The draft programme features a range of professional speakers covering: n How national and international standards evolve, and what AEs can do to influence them.
n Discipline-specific update workshops. n A debate on the appointment of Accountable Persons (APs), and whether the process requires regulation/registration.
n Independence in the role of an Authorising Engineer.
n The Expert Witness – the legal aspects.
Branch’s first live event for two years
IHEEM’s East Midlands Branch will be hosting its first live event in over two years on 8 June.

There will also be a number of exhibitors at the event, and delegates will have the opportunity to visit and enjoy all that the Brewery Museum has to offer.
James Chadwick, Chair of the IHEEM East Midlands Branch, and IHEEM Council Member (pictured), said: “I am delighted that we are now able to plan in-person events. I know I am not alone in looking forward to having the opportunity to
network and share knowledge and ideas with others in an informal and relaxed environment. We are developing a fantastic programme across a number of topics that are having a major impact on our sector, and IHEEM’s new ticket pricing structure makes this event more inclusive and accessible. I am confident this is going to be a very informative and enjoyable day for both delegates and exhibitors.” Tickets are available to IHEEM members for only £50 (£100 for non- members – both exclusive of VAT), and further details on the programme and registration are available via the IHEEM website, at
