Step 1 - join FPH
You must hold FPH membership and be in good standing to be a member of a Special Interest Group (SIG). At present, those holding student membership are unable to join a SIG. From 1 January 2025, anyone joining student membership will also be eligible to join SIGs and those holding current student membership will be able to upgrade their membership to include the opportunity to join SIGs.
If you do not hold FPH membership, please use the eligibility checker to find the most appropriate membership for you and apply.
Please refer to the Join Us page. For any other membership queries: email membership@fph.org.uk or phone 020 3696 1460.
Step 2 - apply to join a SIG via the FPH members’ portal
Once you hold the right FPH membership you can join a SIG by logging into your FPH members’ portal account. Please select the ‘Committees/SIGs’ button and then select the SIG you would like to join. You will then be asked to complete a short form, following which your application will be automatically approved.
If you cannot see or access the ‘‘Committees/SIGs’ button your membership may have lapsed, please login to the members portal to pay your outstanding balance, this will then allow you to join a SIG.
If you have any questions about the SIGs more broadly and how they are governed, please contact the FPH policy team at georgiaharris@fph.org.uk.
Step 3 - wait for the SIG Chair to contact you
Once you have completed your application, you will be added to the SIG mailing list with immediate effect. The SIG Chair will then get in contact with you and share essential induction information including the Terms of Reference, the SIG workplan, as well as the dates and times of future meetings.
