In addition, the HPA helps medical physicists and engineers look after their own interests. Specialist advice is given to support MSF lay representatives and full time officers working for HPA members. A network of contacts alerts the HPA to new developments concerning its members. The HPA works with professional organizations to help make sure that decisions about professional issues also take into account possible effects on the working lives and interests of its members. There is no additional HPA subscription.
Any graduate working in medical engineering and physics is eligible to join.
