30 October 2012
The Institute of Healthcare Management (IHM) joined the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) on Friday 26th October 2012.
Chief Executive of the IHM Sue Hodgetts said: “Strategically, joining RSPH is a very positive step for the IHM and will help us to continue our work enhancing and promoting high standards of professional health and care management. We have been significantly impressed by the RSPH, especially as a membership body, and they are the perfect partner to help us develop and improve our membership services.
“We would like to assure our members and colleagues that we will maintain the IHM identity and will continue to work towards our key objectives of delivering the same excellent standard of service that we have provided for the last 100 years. We value our existing IHM staff members and they are fully supportive of this move. All staff will be transferred under TUPE regulations to become part of the RSPH team based at the RSPH’s headquarters at John Snow House, 59 Mansell Street in London. This partnership offers great opportunities for both RSPH and the IHM.”
Chief Executive of the RSPH Professor Richard Parish said: “There are great similarities between the goals and vision of RSPH and the IHM. We believe this opportunity to combine our resources and years of experience in public health is valuable, not only for our collective members, but also the public health community and population as a whole. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the IHM and I am looking forward to seeing where this new collaboration will take us.”
IHM will be based at RSPH’s headquarters at John Snow House, 59 Mansell Street, London, E1 8AN.
