Frequently Asked Questions
We offer six membership categories to reflect different stages and roles within occupational health. If you’re a CSP-registered physiotherapist, Standard Membership is usually the right starting point. Those who complete the Occupational Health Essentials Course can progress to Technical Membership, and experienced practitioners can apply for Registered Membership. We also offer Associate, International, and Student memberships. If you’re unsure, just email admin@acpohe.org.uk and we’ll guide you.
All ACPOHE members have access to ACPOHE’s Work & Health Learning and Development Hub, along with CPD resources, webinars, journals, and professional updates. Standard, Technical and Registered Members also gain full community access, regional groups, and voting rights. Technical and Registered Membership provide additional professional recognition that supports SEQOHS accreditation and strengthens your credibility in tenders and specialist roles. Furthermore, our Registered Members become eligible for ACPOHE’s paid opportunities such as tutoring, research, course development and other specialist roles. Many members value this as a chance to shape the profession, raise their profile and contribute to high‑quality education and standards across work and health.
To become a Technical Member, you must first be a Standard Member and complete ACPOHE’s Occupational Health Essentials Course (Modules 1–9). To become a Registered Member, you must be a Standard or Technical Member and demonstrate recognised expertise in occupational health through one of our three approved routes. Full details are available via the membership pages and application guidance.
