Membership is open to any organisation supporting the objectives of the Network. Our success depends on achieving as broad and stable membership base as possible, giving HSRN more legitimacy by speaking with one voice for the health services research community. This is especially important at a time of major change in the organisation and governance of health research in the UK. Joining the HSRN will make you part of this effort to make a difference in building the future of health services in the UK.
Annual membership rates are determined according to the type of organisation and number of staff members in the organisation's research unit. This covers all staff in the research unit including fellows and IT. Large bodies with a number of units have the option of registering separately as small units, or collectively as a large unit.
NHS organisations that are core members of the NHS Confederation are eligible to join the network free of charge.
