about us
MiP works to defend and further the interests of managers across our health and care systems.
Through our nationwide network of full-time staff and trained volunteers, MiP protects members during disputes with employers, ensuring that their rights are respected. And we champion managers as a group – negotiating to improve their remuneration and working lives, and improving public understanding of the vital role they play in delivering and improving patient care.
We achieve these goals through four broad areas of work:
As our name suggests, we believe that our goals are best realised by working in partnership – with our colleagues in the trade union movement, with employers, and with clinicians, support staff, other representative organisations and professional bodies. Our members are motivated by their commitment to improving patient care and the working lives of health care professionals: we campaign both for fair salaries and good working conditions for all staff, and for proper investment in services.
We seek to offer excellent value for money to our members, with those employed in full-time roles paying monthly fees ranging from £25.60 to £33.80, depending on your earnings; these fees have been frozen for some years. And in all of our work, MiP seeks to protect and promote equality: we challenge all forms of discrimination, and work to ensure that our health and care services can realise the full potential of every employee.
