Common questions about Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's rating, finances, and Charity Commission status.
Is Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine a good charity? +
Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine scores 84 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 99% of its spending goes to charitable activities (3-yr avg) and its accounts are late. That reflects how transparent and financially healthy it looks on paper — it does not measure the real-world impact of its work, so treat it as one factor alongside the cause you care about. CharityCompare never tells you where to donate.
Is Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine a legitimate charity? +
The register data used for this profile lists Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine as a registered charity (charity number 1047999). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1047999&subId=0. Check the current entry and the identity of anyone requesting money. Registration does not verify a particular appeal; Clarity Score summarises filing transparency, not programme impact.
What is Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's charity number? +
Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's charity number is 1047999. Check that number on the official register (Charity Commission, OSCR or CCNI) or this CharityCompare profile before you donate — scammers sometimes reuse real numbers on fake appeals.
What is Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine's charity rating? +

The Clarity Score (method v1.1) sums four pillars from UK regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 pts), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10). Stars use the same bands as those labels — 90+ is 5★ Exceptional. It is not an impact ranking.
Does Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine have reviews and complaints? +
