What we offer
Personal advice and representation
We are here to support you if you
have a problem at work. Whether it is
advice or representation, we have a
successful track record of supporting
members with workplace issues.
We fight for your pay, pensions and working conditions
We campaign and negotiate
with employers and government on behalf of our members to improve
pay, pensions and working conditions, and to protect our members during organisational change.
Campaigning for managers
We will always use our influence
with the media, government and
employers to advocate for and
highlight the value managers bring to
the NHS and healthcare services.
Plus the backing of both our partner unions

You can vote in elections for UNISON and the FDA’s general secretaries, take part in relevant pay ballots and access discount schemes and professional training courses on offer from both partners.
MiP members automatically belong to both our partner unions at no additional cost, sharing membership benefits and enjoying the backing of all three organisations.

MiP can only offer one-to-one support on issues that occur after your first four weeks of membership. Members can still enjoy MiP’s wide range of other benefits and will be protected should another issue occur in the future. Joining when work is going well means your union will always be there if you ever need it.
MiP operates as a national branch of UNISON, meaning you will retain all UNISON membership rights and benefits such as voting in pay ballots and accessing UNISON discount schemes. MiP was established to focus on the issues that affect managers the most and joining means you are now in the most appropriate branch for your role.
If you are an existing UNISON member and would like to transfer into our branch, please contact info@miphealth.org.uk
For more information on how MiP and UNISON work together please see here.
If you are a civil service manager then you will be best represented by our partner union the FDA.
More details can be found on the FDA’s website here.
