IHEEM is seeking candidates to contribute to its Specialist Engineering Advisory Group, which aims ‘to provide information and guidance for members, and advise on matters of special interest as they arise’, including via promoting and supporting the production of technical papers, which can be printed in HEJ.
The Technical Platforms (TPs) and Advisory Groups (AGs) also comment on HTMs, HBNs, CFPPs, and other DH and Devolved Authority guidance, participate in BSI Committees and All-Party Parliamentary discussion groups, and advise the Council. Each TP and AG communicates electronically via telephone conference calling and the internet ‘to share ideas, comment on articles, and contribute information’. The Institute’s 10 current Technical Platforms and Advisory Groups, all governed by the Technology Platform Committee, cover:
Technical Platforms
• Decontamination.
• Electrical.
• Medical Gases.
• Ventilation.
• Water.
• International.
Advisory Groups
• Architecture and Design of the Built Environment.
• Medical Devices.
• Health and Safety.
• Resilience and Sustainability.
Matthew Barker, IHEEM’s administration officer, added: “We hope the TPs and AGs will give healthcare engineers an opportunity to advise and guide on topics they feel are important, and to establish a network for sharing of expertise. If you have questions you would like answered, wish to participate, or to contribute in-depth specialist engineering knowledge, telephone: 023 9282 3186, or email: matthewbarker@iheem.org.uk” For more information on IHEEM’s Technical Platforms and Advisory Groups, visit www.iheem.org.uk/Technical-Platforms
