Benefits of Membership
The object of the PCRS is to promote research into all aspects of palliative care and to facilitate its dissemination (see our Constitution). Membership is open to individuals or organisations. The subscription period is from 1st January - 31st December. The fee is currently £30 per annum (£20 for the unwaged) with the option for this year only for new members to pay an additional £18.00 per year and receive 12 months subscription to ` Progress in Palliative Care`. This is a saving of £100 on the normal print subscription rate of £118. Membership fees for 2011 will be set at one fee for all new and existing members to automatically include a subscription to 'Progress in Palliative Care' together with membership of the PCRS.

Further benefits of membership include:

• Reduced registration fees for some of the conferences organised, or jointly organised by the PCRS (note: individuals who are considering attending at least one such conference during the year will often find it economically advantageous to join the PCRS simply in order to benefit from the reduced conference fee). Note: this does not apply to every conference but does include reduced registration fees to conferences organised by the EAPC.

• Access to a list of members' contact details and research interests to facilitate multi-professional and multi-centre research initiatives.

• A newsletter at least twice per year

• Access to the PCRS email `google group` designed to facilitate email communication between researchers working in palliative care. This is a closed and moderated group only accessible by PCRS members.
