Authorising Engineers (AEs) are essential to ensure the safety, compliance, and effective management of high-risk, safety-critical engineering systems in accordance with UK health standards and regulations, and AEs provide independent, expert advice and audits to protect patients, staff, and visitors from hazards associated with the complex infrastructure of healthcare facilities.
In the real world, most Trusts will bring in an AE only when needed, and Protects Plus makes finding an AE with the right expertise for your needs quick and efficient.
We partner with a wide range of AEs, all members of the Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM), the independent professional engineering institute for the healthcare sector, with a body of qualified AE members in six specialities: decontamination, electrical, medical engineering, medical gas pipeline systems, ventilation and water.
For time-poor Estates and Facilities teams, it couldn’t be more convenient. We match you with a partner AE who has the requisite expertise in the specific discipline and is conveniently located to visit in person.


"Whether you are dealing with a new build, a refurb or coping with maintenance of an ageing property," Greg Myatt explains, "an AE gives you the independent expertise you need to ensure the safety, compliance, and effective management of high-risk, safety-critical engineering systems in accordance with UK health standards and regulations.
"They typically offer virtual support, regular meetings, site audits and other additional services you need, when you need them. Protects Plus can do all research, booking, pricing and billing go through us, saving you precious time and administrative burden."
