Frequently asked questions.
We answer some of your questions!
Why should I choose AMHIE?
AMHIE was developed to offer support to any individual or organisation that works in the industry. We are led by our members; working at events, collecting feedback and identifying the industry needs, to deliver what’s needed at the right times. We will welcome you into a growing community and help you thrive in your work, feeling supported, less isolated and with the knowledge to be confident in your role and decisions.
What is ‘Free membership’?
Free membership is for anyone wishing to join the association who doesn’t wish to have access to the full membership. You’ll still hear from us, with updates on sector news, blogs and details of upcoming events and training. You will also have access to our members pack, a certificate and badges to display as well as the advice line and working parties.
Which membership is right for me?
Well, there are a lot of options so it’s easy to get confused, ask yourself what do you need?
If you want to join as an individual; we offer a student membership with a valid NUS card or individual membership which have fixed prices.
If you work in a school or educational setting; free membership or the level of educational membership which best reflects the size of your setting (we’ve put a guide on size for you!).
If you’re an organisation, charity, CIC or business; if it’s individual you want the clinician membership, if you are 2 or more you want our provider/supplier membership (we’ve put a guide up for you, just pick the level which best suits you).
How do I pay?

Do you offer discounts?
Sorry, we are not able to issue discounts on our memberships as we work hard to keep the prices as low as possible just for you! You can join us for free, on the first tier of membership if budgets are tight.
We can offer discounts on certain training programmes so please contact us if you have previously trained with us, or you are training a second member of staff on the same training.
Can I invite colleagues to join my membership?
Some of our membership options offer additional access for colleagues, but you need to select the tier that applies to you and your setting. We cannot offer additional access with any individual level of membership, in this instance only one person will have access to the community area.
If you have signed up to training you cannot just let someone else take over, please contact us and let us know who is taking over on info@rootofit.com.
