MPE Update 2026

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Stay ahead of regulatory change. Join us in Bristol on 29 April 2026 for MPE Update 2026, a one day, face to face event designed for Medical Physics Experts working across Diagnostic Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiotherapy. Expect focused sessions on the latest legislative developments affecting clinical practice, including updates to IR(ME)R, MPE certification and support, optimisation, procurement, and current best practice.

The programme blends invited contributions with proffered papers, and will include perspectives from regulators to ensure you leave with practical, actionable insight. 

This event directly supports continued professional development, helping delegates evidence competence, keep pace with compliance requirements, and strengthen peer to peer exchange across specialisms. It is planned as part of IPEM’s face to face cycle, with alternate years delivered online. Organised with support from NM SIG and RT SIG. The meeting is for MPRs from all disciplines, Diagnostic Radiology, Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine.

• Optimisation & procurement: Practical sessions on optimisation strategies and procurement considerations that impact compliance and quality.
