Discount available:

• application received before or within three months of membership fee payment date = 25%

• application received after six months of membership fee payment date will be applied to your next membership renewal.

If you would like to apply for this discount please download and complete the self-declaration form, and email it back to the Membership Engagement team via membership@rcoa.ac.uk.

For each membership year we require a new form to apply the discount, so please be aware that this is not automatically applied and we may ask you to re-submit the form.

Please note, if you have retired from substantive clinical work, you are not eligible for this discount but you can request to change your membership category to be that of Senior Fellows and Members Club (SFMC). For full details of the SFMC membership please visit this webpage.

If you are on, or due to be on, maternity leave or extended parental leave or adoption leave, you can apply to have your membership without a fee for twelve months.

Let us know about your leave as soon as you can so we can support you. For us to provide you with this discount we do require notice before or during your leave. If you notify us after your leave we are unable to back date the discount.

Please download and complete the self-declaration form, and email it back to the Membership Engagement team via membership@rcoa.ac.uk.
