TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Updates Continuing Professional Development
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for maintaining professional competence and ensuring knowledge remains current across the healthcare sector. Ongoing learning enables professionals to keep pace with evolving technologies, standards, guidance, and best practice.
IHEEM’s CPD programme provides members with opportunities
to learn from industry specialists through webinars, presentations, and other professional development activities. Topics cover technical developments, regulatory requirements, guidance, and key issues affecting the healthcare sector. IHEEM invites Company Affiliates to contribute to the programme by sharing their expertise with the wider healthcare engineering and estates community. IHEEM welcomes proposals for educational, informative, and evidence-based sessions that explore relevant industry topics, technical developments, emerging trends, and challenge. Sessions can be delivered either online via Microsoft Teams webinars or in person, in collaboration with IHEEM’s local Branches. To ensure these sessions provide genuine learning value, all CPD content must remain educational and independent of commercial promotion. Presentations should focus on sharing knowledge, experience, and technical insight, rather than promoting products, services, or sales activity. If your organisation would like to contribute, please get in touch to discuss your proposed topic and by emailing
office@iheem.org.uk.
Scotland Branch CPD Programme The IHEEM Scotland Branch has developed a programme of CPD sessions for the beginning of 2027. The programme will begin with CIBSE Guide M: Commissioning Throughout the Project Lifecycle on 3 February 2027 at 12.30pm,
presented by Glen Hawkings from Clear Construction. The session will explore commissioning activities from concept and design through to procurement, installation, verification, validation, handover, and operational performance, highlighting the importance of effective commissioning throughout the project lifecycle. This will be followed on 3 March 2027 at 12.30pm by SHTN 00-06: Derogation Identification and Management, presented by Thomas Rodger from Public Services Delivery Scotland. The session will provide an overview of the new Scottish guidance covering the identification, recording, governance, and management of technical derogations, including project-related derogations and the ongoing management of existing derogations within operational healthcare facilities. Joining instructions for both sessions will be circulated to attendees ahead of each event.

‘I am a chemistry graduate who has spent most of my career solving engineering issues. I sometimes wonder whether I should have chosen mechanical or chemical engineering, as I have always enjoyed the challenge of understanding and managing complex systems. Within water hygiene, there is perhaps no greater challenge than the large acute hospital. Nearly 40 years after my A-level choices set my career on a particular path, I am immensely proud to have become an Authorising Engineer (Water).’
