Subscriptions are income assessed.
Full affiliate membership is open to regional neurological alliances operating on a non-statutory, non-profit basis. Affiliate members will pay a subscription rate which is not income assessed.

Regional associations of neurological organisations are also associates. They are staff led groups and will pay a subscription rate which is not income assessed.
