Cost

 

As a registered charity the Society depends upon grants from the 'Friends of the BSH' and other sponsors, however further contributions are needed to continue and increase our activities. We therefore ask our members for a small annual contribution in the form of a membership fee, which collectively generate additional funds to support the Society.

 

The annual BSH membership fees are as follows: 

• £25 per year for nurses, research fellows and medical students
• £35 per year for all other healthcare professionals

Annual fees may be paid by standing order or cheque (payable to the 'British Society for Heart Failure'), with payment starting from the 1st day of the month following the start of your membership.

 

Please note:  if you pay by standing order instead of by cheque, you will receive a £5 discount on the fees above, i.e. the membership fees would be £20 or £30 respectively.  A discretionary reduction for those who are unable to contribute the full fee will be considered upon application.
