IPEM 2030
IPEM’s 2030 strategy builds on our previous strategy that promoted professional development, community and leadership, which will continue to be priorities for the organisation.
By 2030, IPEM will be a highly relevant and influential organisation, shaping public policy, acknowledged as the leading voice for our professional members and the driving force behind innovations in healthcare.
By collaborating with our community of expert members, IPEM aims to develop the professional by providing, promoting and advocating for high quality training, education and CPD.
