Membership Categories

We have various membership Categories. You just choose the right entry level for you and gain the benefits of professional membership immediately.

Our highest level is Certified Membership, which is split into 3 levels, Administration, Management and Strategic.  These can be upgraded to Fellow level. 

This is available by qualification or approved APL (accredited prior learning).

We have General Membership, which is split into 3 levels, Associate, General and Fellow.  This is designed for those who work in a healthcare environment and is based on experience rather than qualification. 

Associate membership is also available to anyone working in an administration role in any profession and is not limited to healthcare.

We have Affiliate Membership, which is our entry level membership, but does not have any member privileges or voting rights.

Charitable Donations

AMSPAR is a registered charity (charity number 313310) and there is an optional charitable donation field within your payment page.  Any donations are greatly appreciated and will help towards the charitable activities of the organisation.

Payment Options

You may obtain your membership using various payment methods.  We accept payments using credit/debit cards, PayPal and you can also pay directly from your bank account using BACS - Online Payment.

The most efficient way of making payment is to set up an annual Standing Order.  Unlike a Direct Debit, you can cancel this at anytime.

STANDING ORDER is our most popular payment option. For many of our members, it’s the most convenient way to pay, as your membership is automatically renewed each year.  Also, it ensures that you pay the reduced early payment rate and therefore receive the discounted rate automatically.
