Become A Member Of The Fellowship
If you have retired from the NHS or an NHS partner organisation, you are invited to become a member
of the Fellowship.
Membership is open to retirees – and their partners – from all NHS settings and
disciplines within the Health Service.
It's easy to join the NHS Retirement Fellowship. Most people choose
to become a branch member but if you are unable to join a local group for whatever reason or if there isn't a
branch close to your home, you can join as a postal or overseas member.
If you would like to participate in regular activities and events with fellow NHS retirees in your area, then branch membership is for you. As a branch member you will enjoy many benefits, which include:
- ~ Regular branch meetings
- ~ Branch day trips and leisure activities
- ~ Quarterly newsletter
- ~ Lobbying for NHS retirees
- ~ Access to free legal support *
- ~ Invite to the AGM and conference in a UK resort
- ~ Special offers and discounts
- ~ Group holiday discounts
- ~ Option to participate in special interest groups
- ~ Welfare support in times of need
- ~ Access to a benevolent fund
