IPM 50th Anniversary Celebration Campaign
50 years ago a group of doctors found they did not have the skills to manage the sexual problems brought to them by their patients. They developed a new approach with the guidance of psychoanalyst, Tom Main. He co-founded the charity the Institute of Psychosexual Medicine in November 1974.
Over the last 50 years, the IPM has worked to improve the care of everyone with psychosexual problems. We deliver training, education and assessments for doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, radiographers and clinical scientists who work with patients with sexual problems in the NHS and private care.
Psychosexual Medicine looks at the whole person, body and mind, and identifies blocks between the two. The health professional works with the patient to resolve these.
In our 50th year, please consider supporting the IPM with a donation which will enable us to help even more patients.
Your donation will help the IPM:
- Train and assess more health professionals to provide care for people with sexual problems
- Develop training for a wider variety of branches of medicine e.g. we are in discussions to provide training to doctors who wish to become Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
- Promote our recent training package for health professionals working with people who have cancer
- Expand our overseas training
- Donate here
Leave a Gift in your Will
Remembering the IPM by leaving a gift in your will helps us continue our training and support health professionals to provide better healthcare for patients with psychosexual problems. It allows us to provide training for an increasing number of specialities and a wider range of allied health professionals.
The IPM is a charity and relies on funding from a range of sources.
Once you have provided for your family and loved ones, leaving a gift in your will to us will have a lasting impact on the charitable work that we do.
We are sincerely grateful for every gift we receive, no matter what size. In our 50th anniversary year help us continue our work for the next 50 years.
The IPM recommends seeking professional legal advice regarding writing your will.
