How do I get started?
You don't need to do anything to browse the publicly accessible pages. Just use the tabs and links to move around the site as you would any other
Why do I need a website account?
The main reason is that we need to know your basic contact details and information about your employer and job role, so that we can plan our services for all who access the site and attend our events. The login process also offers a degree of security to our intellectual property and special content.
Is my personal information safe?
Yes! The data base is held on secure servers with only the minimum of persons having access. We promise never to give out personal information on account holders and members to third parties unless we have their explicit permission to do so. Please see our Data Protection Statement.
How do I join AQMLM?
Create a website account by submitting an application using the instructions on the website account page under the membership tab. When happy that you wish to proceed, you may then pay the £50 annual subscription fee by electronic bank transfer, personal invoice or over the phone with a credit card. During June 2022, you may join for a reduced fee of £30 that will cover the rest of 2022!
What is the membership year?
As of June 2022, the membership year is now the calendar year, running from 1st January to 31st December. During June 2022, you may join for a reduced fee of £30 that will cover the rest of 2022! Members who do not renew their subscriptions will lose their member benefits if they do not respond to reminders.
Can I join AQMLM at any time?
Yes, but you benefit most by joining at the start of the subscription year, which is now (as of June 2022) January to December. During June 2022, you may join for a reduced fee of £30 that will cover the rest of 2022!
How do I pay for membership and other activities?
Payment is made either by electronic bank transfer, personal invoice or over the phone using a debit/credit card. We no longer routinely invoice employing organisations against purchase orders due to problems with late payment. However, we can do this under exceptional circumstances, but we may add a surcharge to cover additional costs.
How do I manage my password?
When you first create an account, you will receive an email with your username and a one-time use password. You should sign in straight away and then change your password to something easy to remember. Once you do that, we cannot even see it in your database entry. It is extremely important to keep your password secure.
What if I forget my password?
Just enter your username and click on the 'request new password link'. You will be sent an email with a new one-time link.
What if I forget my username?
Please use the contact form and we will advise you by email.
What happens if my address and email changes?
It is very common for people in the NHS to move around and change email addresses. It is therefore extremely important that you regularly log in and check/amend all your details under 'My account'. This is especially crucial for your primary email address, which will be the main way that we will contact you.
