  Welcome to the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine 

  http://www.ipem.ac.uk/ipem_public/

  The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine is dedicated to bringing together physical science, engineering and clinical professionals in academia, healthcare services and industry to Share knowledge, ... Advance science and technology, Inform and educate the public with the purpose of improving the understanding, detection and treatment of disease and the management of patients. IPEM achieves these aims by: Improving standards in clinical practice Providing leadership and advice on scientific and engineering issues in healthcare to other healthcare professionals, government and the public. Sponsoring conferences, meetings and publications to stimulate research and innovation, and to disseminate its results Supporting clinical scientists and technologists in their practice through education and training Supporting development of high quality healthcare in other countries Improving its performance as an organisation. This event is open to early career reseachers working in bioscien   [More...] [Less...]

  AIME - Association of Institutions concerned with Medical Engineering 

  http://www.aime.org.uk/

  Engineering in Medicine is expanding at a tremendous rate. The range of existing activities is vast, from implanted devices (artificial joints, heart pacemakers and artificial limbs), diagnostic devices ... (e.g. blood testing), Imaging devices (e.g. MRI scanning), operating equipment, telemedicine concepts, hospital infrastructure and so on. However more exciting things are still being developed, taking research ideas from many disciplines into medical applications. Indeed they could totally transform the way healthcare is implemented! Some call it invention, others innovation, but this is the role of medical engineering – transforming science, engineering and technology into useful products for healthcare. The range of technologies mean that the ‘raw concepts’ might come from any discipline and so, almost a decade ago, it was decided that an Association of Institution concerned with medical engineering should be formed and a Memorandum of Understanding was signed in 1999.
