We welcome new members and at a membership fee of only £35 a year, we feel this is good value.

Membership is on an individual named person basis. It is your membership and moves with you if you change jobs or companies.

As the membership fee is so low and in order to cut down running costs (the AHPPI is a non-profit organisation run by unpaid volunteers), we are unable to offer group or company discounts.
