IHEEM recruitment/membership manager, Chris Parker, said: “Membership is available to individuals, companies, NHS Trusts, and universities. For more information on membership, benefits, and events, and how IHEEM can support your professional development, visit one of our two stands, conveniently located in the exhibition hall foyer (stand I1), and on the exhibition Floor (A18). Members of IHEEM’s head office team, and existing Institute members, will be on hand to meet you.” On both stands visitors will also be able to meet the editorial and advertising teams from Health Estate Journal, the official Institute magazine. Published 10 times a year, HEJ is recognised as an authoritative publication covering many of the most important issues facing healthcare estate and facilities management and engineering professionals. Each month the Journal, which is also fully accessible online, incorporates both in-depth technical articles from specialists in the field, and the latest sector, product, and technology news. This year HEJ will again publish the official Healthcare Estates show preview, show issue, and catalogue. Copies will be available on the IHEEM stands, and will also be widely distributed throughout the two-day show.
