Honorary membership is defined within CEASA as a way to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the organization or who have achieved notable success in their field of work.

Our guidelines are:

1. Process: CEASA council reviews the nominations for honorary membership at the annual general meeting (AGM). The application should include a shortened CV and list of accomplishments the individual has achieved pertaining to the field of clinical engineering.
2. Period: The individual, preferably a member, and predominantly close to pension age, is awarded a lifetime membership.
3. Benefits: Membership fee is waived and the Honourary Member’s name will be listed on the CEASA webpage. Names remain on this page in remembrance.
4. Devotion: While honourary members are not required to fulfil the same responsibilities as regular members, they may be asked to:
   4.1 serve as ambassadors for CEASA,
   4.2 present at a webinars,
   4.3 contribute towards newsletters
   4.4 be willing to serve on a CEASA-advisory group to provide advice and guidance to CEASA council.
5. Approval: Once an individual has been selected as an honorary member, CEASA issues a formal certificate to commemorate the membership.

 

 

A Clinical Engineering poem to salute our honourary members

 

“Clinical engineering, is a noble craft,
where science and health intertwine and graft,
devices and systems, with precision designed,
to aid in healing, body and mind.

From diagnostics to treatment, it plays a key role,
ensuring medical equipment meets the highest goal,
of reliability, safety, and efficacy,
in service to patient care, with unwavering consistency.

It’s a field that demands both skill and heart,
to ensure that each device plays its part,
in healing the sick and easing their pain,
clinical engineering, a vital link in the healthcare chain,
a calling that has no end nor is for the faint hearted.”
