Guild of Health Writers
Health journalism at its best
Types of membership
Health journalists, health writers, and people who work mainly in health in the broadcast media can all become full members of the Guild. They can be freelance or employed.
Full membership holds many benefits. But it is also dependent on satisfying strict professional critieria. That is good news for you - Guild membership brings with it status. But it also good news for those who use the Guild as a source of professionalism and expertise - they know we demand certain standards.
The Guild also has other types of membership for those with an interest in health journalism, or in supporting the Guild.
Associate membership is open to people who are not professional writers and editors, but who work in fields such as medicine and are established health writers, authors or broadcast journalists.
Student membership is open to full-time students studying journalism or hoping to specialise in health.
Friends membership is open to individuals and organisations who want to maintain close links with the Guild - for example, doctors or PR companies
