This is the first part of the two step process in completing your AHDS membership application. Our subscriptions are now paid through direct debit which is administered for us by GoCardless.

Upon submitting this form you will be taken to the page which has the link to the paperless Direct Debit mandate. Please complete this, you will need your sort-code and account number for the bank account you wish to use for this process.

All subscriptions will be collected on the first of each month.

If you are not taken to the Direct Debit link then your application has not come through. Please re-submit.

Until the Direct Debit mandate is completed you are not yet a member of AHDS and will be unable to access our services.

Contact Preferences

To ensure we comply with all email marketing regulations we can only send you emails about our training days and conferences if you tell us you want to receive these. We also email information on partner events when they offer a discount for AHDS members. This does not affect the emails we will send you about AHDS business and information, we will still send you these. (Remember: You can change your preference at any time in your member profile online.)

I want to receive emails from AHDS informing me of AHDS events and AHDS partner events.
