I wanted to let you know personally that our membership fees are increasing by 5% from January 2024.
Unfortunately, there continue to be cost pressures that affect individuals and organisations alike. So I know this news may come at a time when budgets are tight, but I can assure you we have done all we can to keep the increase in line with the current inflation rate.
The rise translates to an increase of around £1 per month for practising pharmacists. We understand that members have diverse financial situations, which is why we offer a range of fees for different membership types and flexible payment options to accommodate your needs.
And remember, you can save a significant sum on your membership fee by claiming the tax rebate for professional fees offered through HMRC. If you’re a UK taxpayer, our website explains exactly how you can obtain this tax relief. It’s your right as a professional when joining your professional body, so I urge you to take up this opportunity as soon as you can.
We are determined to provide even more value for your membership in 2024 and will continue to support and champion the extraordinary effort you put into patient care despite ongoing challenges.
At this time of great change, we all need to work together more than ever before to create a better present and a brighter future for our fantastic profession, and we will be with you every step of the way.
Paul Bennett, Chief Executive Officer
