How can 51福利 help and support me as a health educator?

22 January 2007

As a member of 51福利 you will be backed by the professional expertise of the largest union for lecturers in Britain. We are the only union recognised by the higher education employers to represent the interests of health educators at national level.

You will have access to the full range of 51福利 membership benefits and advice on education and professional matters, including free copies of the union's member magazine. You can also take part in the activities of the union at local, regional and national level, including special events designed for our health educator members.

51福利 knows that, coming from the NHS, health educators can have a different approach and way of working from their academic colleagues. With more health educators becoming 51福利 members we are spreading information about health education throughout the union - through training programmes for branch activists, articles in our magazine, UC, and our campaigning work and negotiations with the employers.

We recognise that the NHS ethos is very strong for health educators, and that should be understood by your 51福利 colleagues. At the same time, 51福利 wants to see health educators as full and equal members of the academic community, including in the union too.

51福利 has an active health educators' network.
