Major membership change

Following extensive research and analysis, the BDA is launching a new membership scheme and from June 1, 2013 the current ‘one size fits all’ membership will be replaced with three different packages, offering a range of benefits.

At the same time, the BDA is also launching a new online CPD ‘Hub’ which will be available to all members.

The changes are being introduced at a time when regulation of the profession has increased and the BDA has expanded to accommodate the growth in demand for specialist advisory services and readily available information.  But not all members need the highly valued one-to-one support.

Dr Martin Fallowfield, Chair of the BDA’s Principal Executive Committee, said “Our members are individuals managing increasingly complex healthcare businesses and have different needs, but we know they want flexibility and choice and expect value at all times.  They also expect fairness.  After two years of surveys, focus groups and discussion with our members we believe we have reached a solution that is in all of our interests, individually and collectively.”
