Physicists, engineers and technologists play vital roles in delivering our
healthcare. The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) is the
professional organisation that represents this diverse workforce. We are a
charity with more than 4,600 members drawn from healthcare, academia and
industry. What do our members do? Some help to ensure that patients are
correctly diagnosed and safely treated for illnesses such as cancer and stroke
through their work on imaging and radiotherapy. Some develop, maintain and
manage medical equipment such as MRI and ultrasound scanners, X-ray machines,
drug delivery systems and patient monitors.
