The Society of Public Health Engineers (SoPHE) aims to provide a higher profile and focus for public health engineers within CIBSE.
The Society has its own classes of membership independent of those of CIBSE and is able to provide designatory letters to those who are suitably qualified and experienced in public health engineering. The Society members will, if they are not already members of CIBSE, be admitted as affiliate members of CIBSE, which will ensure that members receive 10 editions of the CIBSE Journal and other CIBSE membership benefits and discounts.
A society charge of £10-£30 over and above the lowest cost membership enables us to fund a greater level of activity, and there is also a membership class for companies - SoPHE Industrial Associates - who wish to be involved with the Society's work. The designatory letters for Society members will be benchmarked for experience, City and Guilds, ONC/HNC, B Eng etc. For information on joining the Society please click here.
The Society brochure contains more information about membership and the benefits.

Celebrating our Volunteers
During Volunteers week at the beginning of June, we were able to feature a number of our dedicated volunteers with the purpose to highlight their contributions and to celebrate our 1000+ volunteer team.
From Member to Chair - How volunteering helped me develop new skills
I was asked if I would be interested in writing this article as I come to the end of my time with the SoPHE YEN and at first I was hesitant but it gave me a great opportunity to pause and look back at all the different opportunities volunteering has offered me.
