Orthoptic Graduate Membership2023-07-20T14:56:52+01:00

We offer all student members free full membership of BIOS for six months in the year following graduation.

Once you’re in your first job, simply sign up for the membership that applies to you below. For most members practising within the UK that will be ‘First Full Year’, and in the Republic Of Ireland, ‘First Full Year (ROI)’.

You’ll need to agree to pay by direct debit, but when you return the form, let us know you’re applying for graduate membership and we’ll set up your payments to start after six months.

If you have any questions about becoming a member or upgrading your membership, please contact our office at [email protected].
