Membership

INHED is committed to establishing itself as a membership organisation. At present, anyone who attends the ASM is a de-facto member of INHED for one year. This leads to a fluctuating membership and uncertainty regarding communication and participation.

Please note that the INHED Membership Programme is under review. Membership is currently not required to attend INHED events and conferences.

It is intended that when launched there will be three categories of membership:

Institutute/Organisation

Institutional membership will allow up to 10 employees / contract holders with that that organisation to avail of cut-price access to the INHED ASM and to its faculty development symposia. Other benefits accrue as outlined below.

Individual Membership

Individual membership is intended for persons who are not affiliated with a large academic or healthcare institution and members will accrue the same benefits as those who benefit from an institutional membership.

Trainee/Student

Membership of INHED for trainees and students will be pitched at a lower membership fee. Trainee and student members will accrue the same benefits as institutional members.

Key Benefits
