The Clinical Engineering Network is a not for profit collective open to all but especially aimed at those involved with or those that share an interest in Healthcare Engineering, Medicine and Science.

We plan to remain education and training focused and to this end, many of our members contribute significantly to this community and the community at large.

This site therefore is not limited to the expert or novice, the student or academic, it is for everybody, we aim simply to enhance our activity and understanding through the development of partnership and sharing our resources, abilities and talent.

Whoever you are,whatever your differences, we will treat you with dignity and respect, all we ask is that you treat each other and us the same

Its been a while but the forums are back online. All user accounts are still valid with your normal user id & password. All forum posts are now restored. Thanks for your "patients" please feel free to have a look at the new forum layout.

Just how did it all start I hear you say, no you fools not CEN, everything, everthing, Yes everything, occasionally we find a really good link worthy of our front page, have a read of this explanation you can understand of the big bang and the expansion of the universe.

Medical Physics, Cosmology Physics, all the same really just smaller bodies LOL !

Heres the link, enjoy and let us know what you think DM    http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/kenny/papers/cosmo.html

Post Hacking, the forum has now almost been re assembled by Tom and Dave, with the latest generation software new features are expected in some of the "plug in" functions too, we have had to invest more time and probably more money than expected to improve security as a priority, thanks for your support ant patience, normal service to be resumed soon !

At CEN school presentations the response by teachers has been remarkable, most state quite passionately that Clinical Engineering encapsulates perfectly the relationship between science and engineering, the need to communicate and calculate (maths and english boys and girls) with so many examples. The fact that we may have inspired a student or helped a teacher gives us a real buzz, long may it continue, thanks to all involved.

We have set ourselves some blue sky targets this year, we aim this to deliver much more this year if we can. With your help and that of our site supporters, there are no limits............

After a catch up and only breif discussions with Keith Feay today, see http://www.keithfeay.co.uk/ , we at CEN agreed to throw our full support behind a X-Ray charity which is now active in providing imaging equipment and technical support to less fortunate, deserving and developing countries

I have known Keith for many years since he was a regional NHS engineer in the Manchester area and I was then a young engineer freshly demobbed from the Royal Air Force and installing X-Ray equipment throughout the North West like it was going out of fashion.

Keith is a top guy and is always willing to help anyone who needs it, highly respected and professional, he nears retirement after working from the age of 15, he really seems fired up with this charity work and we will do everything we can to help him for sure.      

At Global Network we are delighted that NHS web gateway traffic increases as networks become more stable and established. We are also seeing an increase in traffic from hospitals in Europe especially Ireland and Education Organisations including those from the USA.

Our site is freely used for EBME recruitment / job advertising and vacancy and available for work notification purposes.

AT GNP WE CARE    We administer social injustice and awareness websites too,  income gained from our activities returns to our target communities with interest, hopefully plenty of interest, WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF TAKING OURSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY , this we know is best left to others !!!
