Discounts on membership

If you are on maternity/parental/adoption leave, you are eligible for a 50% reduction on your annual membership fees.

This discount will be applied to UK and Global Fellows and members (excluding those residing in an LMIC country).

The reduction is available for one subscription year per child and cannot be applied if you have informed us of your leave after you have returned to work.

You will be required to submit evidence of your maternity/parental/adoption leave, in the form of either a MATB1 certificate (UK residents) or a letter from your HR department.

Any documentation submitted must be provided in English.
Please contact us in advance of your maternity leave to apply for this discount at membership@rcr.ac.uk.

From 1 June 2023, if you are earning £42,000 or less, before tax, from all forms of earned income as a clinical radiologist or clinical oncologist within the membership year, you are eligible for a reduction of up to 50% on your annual membership fees.

Earned income includes any expected earnings from overtime/on-call work but does not include pension contributions.

• All applications should be submitted in advance of 1 June each year and any applications submitted after this point will be subject to a pro-rata discount, applied from when your application form and required documentation are received.
• You can apply for this discount if you are on long-term sick leave or unemployed.
• This discount is only available to the membership bands of UK Fellows and UK Members (Non-Training).

You will need to provide documentation detailing your earnings; for example, a letter from your HR department.
Please contact us annually to apply for this discount at membership@rcr.ac.uk.

If you wish to apply on the basis of hardship, please contact the membership operations team at membership@rcr.ac.uk .

It is important that our Fellows and members keep their details up to date. When you inform us of any changes in circumstance, we will apply the discount effective from the date of notification.

• We will not backdate any refunds in regards to a change in circumstances.​
• Any refunds under £10.00 will not be processed due to administration. 

If you live outside the UK on 1 June of any subscription year, we’ll automatically apply a discount to your membership fee in line with our standard charge for your country of residence, provided we have your main international residence address on file.

If you have recently moved overseas, please contact the membership operations team with your new address. The global subscription fee will be applied on a pro rata basis.

Fees are lower for retired members. Click to see our subscription fees below for retired Fellows and members.

You must notify the membership operations team immediately if your circumstances have changed and will have an impact on your membership.
