Improvements to the IHEEM website during its recent re-design mean Company Affiliate Members now have at their disposal a more effective vehicle through which to promote themselves, with Institute members now able to search for such companies both by name, and by the products and services they offer.
Over 130 companies have IHEEM Company Affiliate membership, a membership category that provides the opportunity for companies within the healthcare sector to benefit from a closer relationship with the Institute and its members. Additional benefits include the opportunity to use the IHEEM logo in advertising material, and discounts both on advertising in Health Estate Journal, and at the annual Healthcare Estates event. In addition, up to four employees receive individual benefits, including delivery of the Institute journal. Chris Parker, IHEEM’s recruitment and membership manager, said: “The ability to promote our Company Affiliate members in this way is a direct result of the improvements made to the website, and uses that facility, together with the database of members’ details, to provide the directory. We hope that, in this way, company members will find even greater value in their membership. I would ask existing company members to review their entry and let me know of any inaccuracies they find.” Entries can be reviewed at www.iheem.org.uk/ Company-Affiliate-Directory. Readers of HEJ whose companies are not currently IHEEM members, and who wish to consider membership, can find details, and download an application pack, at the above website address.
