Book your ticket, plan your day
There are still a few tickets left for IPEM's Science, Technology, and Engineering Forum 2024 (STEF ’24).
Ticket holders will be joining international delegates at Central Hall, Westminster London on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th October 2024.
The theme for the two-day conference is “Beyond Boundaries: collaborating for tomorrow's innovative solutions” and focuses on emerging topics that are relevant to all our members to enable a comprehensive oversight of the issues and opportunities facing all specialisms.
You can review the programme in full. and and download the STEF '24 Abstracts Book here. The programme has been designed to provide a cross-disciplinary view to enable the Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering community to work together to identify solutions, so that we can tackle these challenges together.
Topics and focus
STEF 2024 focuses on cross-disciplinary topics, illustrating that we have far more commonalities across specialisms than differences. The event promotes learning and knowledge sharing from colleagues in other areas of Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering, to enable collaboration to develop tomorrow’s innovative solutions.
As part of STEF’s cross-disciplinary initiative, we have accepted abstracts from all Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering specialisms that cover the following topics:
1. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
AI and Machine Learning implementation is occurring in all areas of Physics and Medicine in Healthcare. Presentations and posters on this topic illustrate how colleagues in various specialisms approach and implement digital solutions in their healthcare ecosystem and understand the challenges and solutions they have encountered.
2. Sustainability in Healthcare Settings
As the NHS has committed to becoming net zero by 2040, there has never been a larger focus on sustainability and green initiatives in healthcare. This topic aims showcase the myriad of efforts that have aided the development of sustainability within healthcare from speakers in clinical, academic and industry backgrounds.
3. Workforce & Training
The workforce crisis is a huge issue facing Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering. This topic highlights the challenges, opportunities and forward-thinking approaches to tackle these issues. Expect discussions around effective training of the workforce, the use of digital transformation to aid workforce pressures and innovating for service improvement.
4. Ethical Healthcare
With the rise of AI, many discussions have taken place around potential bias in utilising these tools in healthcare. This has shone a spotlight on ethical issues within all aspects of healthcare, including equity of access, gender and ethnic minority imbalances in healthcare research and challenges facing disabled or neurodivergent patients. The programme will highlight these challenges within all areas of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, with a view to enabling a discussion on how we can tackle these challenges together.
