Membership Fees

Ceasing of Direct Debit discount – 2019
Following a change by the government to the Consumer Rights (Payment surcharges) Regulations in 2018, we can no longer offer the £5 Direct Debit discount. In recognition of this our trustees have agreed that for 2019 all membership fees will remain at the standard rate that was charged in 2018.

If you already have a Direct Debit set up, you do not need to do anything. We will email you as usual with advance notice of taking the Direct Debit in early January 2019 confirming that we will take the money at the end of that month.

Direct Debit remains the easiest way to pay for your membership fees, If you would like to set up a Direct Debit please contact info@fsrh.org to request a form, completed forms need to be received in the post by the FSRH office by Friday 11 January 2019.

Re-joining the FSRH

If your membership has lapsed and you would like to re-join FSRH past the 31 March cut-off date for the current membership year or after one or more years, you will be required to pay back your 'missing' years (up to a capped amount of 5 years) to ensure you have continuous membership which is required for recertifying your primary qualification.

FSRH Council believes that membership of the FSRH – and therefore access to the latest clinical guidance, standards, Journal, CPD questions and regular updates – is an important part of the membership and recertification process. The rules surrounding back payment of subscriptions were tightened up in 2015 by FSRH Council. FSRH is a registered charity and is able to provide its services only through the payment of membership subscriptions.

2017/2018 Fees (1 Jan 2017 - 31 Dec 2017/2018), , a £5 discount was applicable in previous years if paying by direct debit.
