Frequently asked questions about becoming a member

How do I log into the Association website?

  • Have you registered an online account on our website? You will need to this before you can log in. 
  • Click on the Login button (on the top right hand side of the screen if you’re using a desktop). Username and password required. 
  • If you have forgotten your password you can request send a password reset or request send a username reminder if needed. 
  • On the website, you can book events, read publications and update your contact details (under My Profile – top right corner).
  • If you are struggling to log in, clear your browser cache/history, close your browser, open a new browser window and try again.
  • If you have three failed log in attempts, the system will automatically lock you out as a security measure. If that happens, contact [email protected] to unlock your account.

Why is my login not working on the Association website?

  • If you had a login account on our old website (pre May 2019), this will not work on our current website. Contact [email protected] to receive your unique pre-registration link to setup a new username and password. This will then be linked to your previous account and any historical information, e.g. CPD certificates, invoices, etc. 
  • If your log in account was registered on the current Association website, see the section above “How I do log into the Association website” for further help.

My GMC details are not being recognised

  • Make sure the security settings on your device are not blocking the GMC validation check on our website. Hospital computers often have additional security which could be preventing these checks on our website. 
  • Make sure your surname is entered with a capital first letter, e.g. Smith not smith or SMITH as this field is case sensitive. 
  • Year of qualification is taken from the Primary medical qualification line on GMC registration. 
  • Only click once on the ‘Verify Details’ button after you have filled in all of the information prompted on the page. The validation may take 5-10 seconds to verify so allow time for these checks to complete. 
  • If you click multiple times on the ‘Verify Details’ button, the system may not let you proceed to the application form and return an error. Should this happen, contact [email protected].

Is there a discount for parental leave or LTFT?

Members can apply for a discount if their circumstances change due to parental leave, going LTFT or due to long term sickness.
