TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Updates
Enhancing expertise in healthcare facility planning and design The Institute is dedicated to assisting members throughout their professional journey by promoting the value of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and providing practical tools like the MyIHEEM CPD platform to record and reflect on learning. Through its varied programme of conferences, webinars, and courses, IHEEM provides high-quality learning opportunities that strengthen technical expertise, support career progression, and encourage the exchange of best practice across the sector. IHEEM, in collaboration with its training partner TAHPI, delivers the Health
Facility Planning Course, a specialised programme aimed at enhancing expertise in the planning and design of healthcare facilities (see also this month’s Institute News section for training dates). This course is ideal for professionals who are experienced in related industries, but seek a deeper understanding of the specific requirements and challenges involved in healthcare facility planning. It introduces the core principles of health facility design – including the use of evidence-based research to inform planning decisions, strategies for leading change and managing stakeholders, and ensuring strategic alignment with organisational goals.

20 Health Estate Journal September 2025 Recently Accredited
Incorporated Engineer Jack Greenway, IEng, said: “‘Professional registration means two things to me: firstly, it helps people I work with have confidence in the work I do and the advice I give. Secondly, that external
recognition of my experience and ability helps to improve my own confidence. It’s a nice feeling to have that acknowledged formally. The full process of registration took about eight months from start to finish. The part that I was the most nervous about – the interview was carried out in a relaxed manner. I also want to thank Clair Wilkins at IHEEM Head Office for her help throughout the process; she was fantastic.”
