title: Varied skill set needed for AE (D) role.
abstract: IHEEM's AE (D) Panel plays an important role in managing and administering the UK's only official register of such specialist personnel, and indeed it is the Panel that selects qualified candidates for registration, interviews those considered "the right material", and confers registered AE (D) status on those that Panel members feel have the right combination of professional experience and expertise, academic qualifications, and knowledge, to fulfil the role. HEJ editor Jonathan Baillie examines the history of the AE (D) register and Panel, and talks to the latter's chairman, Eric Thomas, to find out more.
