Shared member benefits

We provide a range of services to meet the shared needs of our members.

Representation

We provide our members with a strong influencing voice in Government, parliament and with national stakeholders - ensuring our members' voices are heard at key stages in policy development and implementation. We also have representation on a number of key strategic and advisory groups.

Networking and engagement

Our range of networking and engagement opportunities provide members with a platform to engage directly with policy makers and key influencers, as well as the chance to discuss issues, share knowledge and ideas with peers from across the healthcare sector. Events range from dinners and receptions to breakfast meetings, seminars and conferences.

Information and guidance

We ensure that our members are kept up-to-date with the latest developments in healthcare and help them to make sense of the complex policy agenda. Our regular briefings provide summary and interpretation of new and existing policy, outlining how it will impact upon our members and how they will need to respond.

• a variety of reports, debate papers and consultation documents
• Interchange alert weekly e-bulletin providing highlights of our work programme, as well as the latest news, views and ways to get involved in our work

Member satisfaction

We always strive to deliver the best possible products and services for our members. Each year we ask our members to complete a member satisfaction survey that helps us to ensure we are providing the right levels of service and support and establish where we might make improvements to our service provision.

You can now view the summary of the results from our 2009 member satisfaction survey.

Thank you to all of our members who took the time to complete the survey this year.
