Background: in order to ensure an equal level of safety and effectiveness for European patients, the European Parliament has published new regulations aiming at ruling the free circulation of medical devices among European countries. However, several other important aspects relevant for patient safety are not regulated. This is the case of minimum requirements to work as clinical engineers in European public hospitals or local Trusts. This survey is part of a wider study aiming at analyzing different requirements to work as a clinical engineer in different European countries.
