Membership Applications Temporarily Paused

Our Commitment to Innovation

We are transitioning to a state-of-the-art, automated system to enhance member experiences. Our upgraded website will improve access to resources, facilitate data-driven communications, and streamline interactions both internally and externally. 

From 22 April 2025, BIHS is pausing new membership applications and renewals during the final phase of our membership system handover.

This pause will allow us to reconcile accounts and transition to a new internal membership system, launching soon as part of our updated website.

Membership will re-open shortly. We appreciate your patience during this time.

If you have any questions, please contact us at info@bihs.org.uk
