We're open to all healthcare managers
If you are on Agenda for Change Band 8 or above, or the equivalent level of responsibility in other organisations, or in the executive cohort, you should join MiP. We also welcome management trainees who can join us at a special rate.
Employment representation
Our officers ensure you are treated fairly at work. As a member of MiP you get direct access to our officers who have established good working relationships with employers. They can often resolve problems informally. But when necessary they will provide tough and effective representation through formal stages right through to employment tribunal or court, supported by legal assistance.
Instant advice when you join
Join MiP now. Don't wait until you have a problem. Every year we help hundreds of managers to resolve issues such as reorganisation, redundancy, pay and contracts. We can provide instant advice when you join. We will provide representation for those who have been members for at least 13 weeks, where the problem did not pre-exist membership.
