THE INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOSEXUAL MEDICINE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Institute of Psychosexual Medicine is a learned body for the promotion of psychosexual medicine through seminar training.
It aims to:
a) Advance the study of sexual medicine with particular reference to the effect of psychological problems on health and well-being.
b) Encourage the study and research of psychosexual medicine, particularly with regard to the practitioner-patient relationship.
c) Promote high standards in psychosexual medicine through seminar training and examination.
Its membership consists of accredited members of the medical profession and allied health professionals as approved by council within the remit of the constitution.
The main objectives for the year and strategies for achieving them are as follows:
TRAINING
Training in a brief focused psychodynamic therapy carried out by health professionals for sexual and related difficulties. The aim of training is to increase the skills of doctors and allied health professionals who encounter patients with psychosexual and related problems in their everyday clinical practice.
INTRODUCTORY TERMS
These are provided as an introduction to seminar training, and are also used as a stand alone introduction to the field of psychosexual medicine. They consist of semi formal teaching in addition to case discussion as outlined in The Seminar. Each term is 12 hours although shorter courses can be offered on request. It is now a requirement for all regular Seminar Trainees to attend an Introductory Term prior to sitting the Diploma Exam.
THE SEMINAR
Trainees meet for 12 hours per term with an accredited leader. They are invited to present current clinical encounters for discussion within the group. They may present themselves for the Diploma examination after 6 terms of training.
FURTHER TRAINING
Health professionals who seek to make this field a special interest, and have passed the Diploma examination, may wish to continue for further training. After a period of at least 2 years further training, they may offer their work for examination for the Membership of the Institute, which qualifies them as competent to receive referrals from other practitioners and agencies.
SEMINAR LEADERS
Seminar leaders must hold Membership of the Institute of Psychosexual Medicine and have an interest in the techniques and dynamics of seminar work. Leaders' workshops are arranged twice each term, where seminar leaders present their groups to other leaders for discussion.

THE INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOSEXUAL MEDICINE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
THE DIPLOMA AND MEMBERSHIP EXAMINATIONS
These are conducted annually by a Board of Examiners selected from among accredited leaders and from which Board a Chairman is elected to serve for a maximum of three years.
MEETINGS AND RESEARCH
A residential scientific meeting is held annually in differing venues across the United Kingdom.There is also a one day clinical meeting which was held online in 2022 and expected to continue as online in the near future.
THE JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOSEXUAL MEDICINE
The Journal is published twice a year and is available online.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity' Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
In pursuance of these objectives, during the year under review the charity held 19 Regular Seminar Groups attended by an average of 103 trainees and responded to a record number of training registrations and general enquiries from trainees, Members and Diplomats. Additionally, the charity held 14 Introductory Terms attended by 121 trainees.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources are members' subscriptions and income in furtherance of the charity's object of training. The majority of expenditure is in furtherance of the charity's objects, including organising training, seminars and workshops, as well as providing support to members.
Investment policy and objectives
Money is held in deposit and current bank accounts; the Institute does not hold separate investments.
Surplus funds are held in an instant access deposit account as that is most appropriate to the charity's needs.
Reserves policy
The reserve policy is to hold three months average expenditure plus the costs of winding up the Institute. At the year end the council members consider that the reserve level covers these two requirements.
The Institute relies on the continued support of the medical profession and whilst this continues it does not foresee any risk or uncertainty regarding its future.
During the year the Institute received income from all sources of £155,026. Total expenditure was £143,293 leading to an overall increase in reserves from £85,050 at 31 December 2021 to £96,783 at 31 December 2022.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
FUTURE PLANS
The online platform continued to provide a hugely successful platform in 2022, particularly with IPM Introductory Courses. As face-to-face opportunities slowly return, for IPM Regular Seminar Groups, we will be looking to combine online and face to face training. Face-to-face learning is key to optimising IPM training and skills, therefore from 2023 the IPM will introduce a requirement to attend a minimum number of face hours before sitting the Diploma and Membership Examinations. IPM Examinations will return to face-to-face, but recognising the IPM Equality and Diversity Policy, online examinations may also be held if circumstances dictate. The IPM hope to develop and explore International Training and also grow the IPM's bespoke Introductory and Cancer Courses. The IPM's social media presence continues to grow and plays an obvious and very important role in the promotion of the IPM with record numbers of 'followers', 'shares' and 'likes'. The new IPM website and CRM will launch in January 2023 which we expect to further grow the IPM's visibility and training opportunities. The IPM is looking forward to expand and build on the successes it has had in previous years.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity was established by Trust Deed, dated 27 October 1975 and amended 30 March 1984. Changes to the Constitution took place in March 1987 making the organisation into an unincorporated association. The Constitution was updated in April 2001, March 2002, 2017 and September 2020. The registered number is 298172.
The members of council who have served during the year and since the year-end are set out above.
The principal office address is also shown above.
Council members are elected for a three-year term of office, renewable for a further three years, after which a period of one year must elapse before members may stand for re-election. Council meets at least 3 times a year and when complete consists of not less than 12 or more than 16 members; all decisions are made at these meetings. Members of Council are elected at the Annual General Meeting which takes place annually. Trustees are elected or appointed from among Council Members except for the Editor, Training Committee, Chair of the Examining Board, Programme Secretary and Media and Comms Officer which are ex-officio posts and can be appointed from the Membership onto Council for that specific IPM post.
Only Diplomats and Members of the Institute are eligible to serve as members of the Council with a maximum of 3 Diplomats serving at one time. In addition up to 4 further Members or Diplomats may be co-opted by Council and may serve for 2 years.

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.
MEMBERS OF COUNCIL RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Members of Council to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the council members are required to:
" select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
" make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
" prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Members of Council are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOSEXUAL MEDICINE
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Institute of Psychosexual Medicine
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Institute of Psychosexual Medicine (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
