IET - The Institution of Engineering and Technology
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is a global professional society for engineering and technology. With over 155,000 members in 148 countries, we provide independent and impartial engineering and technology expertise to help solve some of society's most significant challenges. As a registered charity, we are committed to inspiring, informing, and influencing the global engineering community to engineer a better world.
Our strength lies in our collaborative approach, working with governments, industries, and academia to engineer solutions for global challenges. Our professional guidance is critical to good policy making, especially in highly technological areas. We are a diverse home for engineering and technology professionals, ranging from those developing new engineering capabilities to those perfecting established skills. Our goal is to lead the engineering and technology profession to make better sense of the world and solve the challenges that matter.
One of our many initiatives is the IET Healthcare group, which is dedicated to promoting innovation and creativity among future leaders in healthcare, social care, and wellbeing. By bringing together stakeholders from different disciplines, including engineers, policy makers, clinicians, patients, technologists, and entrepreneurs, we aim to facilitate knowledge exchange and collaboration. The group focuses on promoting the application of engineering and technology in healthcare, particularly in areas such as digital health, medical devices and equipment, healthcare infrastructure, and data analytics. We also address challenges related to healthcare delivery and access in low-resource settings and promote ethical considerations in technology use in healthcare.
Join us in promoting progress and innovation in engineering and technology. Visit our resources to learn more about our initiatives and how you can get involved in making a positive impact on society.
