Becoming a member of the Specialised Ventilation for Healthcare Society is a simple process and begins with you sending an email request to info@svhsoc.com

Please read the membership details below, which outlines the types of membership, the verification process and what is expected of you as a member of the society. Once we have your email, we will send you an application form to be completed.

There are FOUR classes of membership:  Associate, Full Member, Full (AEv) Member and Corporate Membership.  Full details of each class are shown below.   A nominal fee is charged for membership to cover administration and the promotion of the Society.

Memberships start at £50 and subscriptions are renewed in June

Membership Classes:

ASSOCIATE – £50 per annum

Although there is no formal process for becoming an Associate member of the Society, applicants should have an interest and /or be working in the field of healthcare ventilation.  Associate Members are typically practicing Authorised Persons (Ventilation) or others with specialized interest and knowledge in healthcare ventilation systems and related fields, who want to continue their professional development, contribute to improving existing standards, aspire to become AE(V)s, or support the professional network. Associate Members will receive communications and invitations from the Society.   An Associate member who is considered to have made a significant contribution to the field of Healthcare Ventilation, but who does not wish to become a registered AE(V), can become a Full Member of the Society after one year and after completing the appropriate process.

FULL MEMBER – £100 per annum

Full Members are those that have significant experience in the field of healthcare ventilation but are not practicing AE(V).  Full Members go through a formal process and are eligible to vote on issues affecting the Society.  For more information on full member status and process click here – Full Member

FULL MEMBER (AEv) – £150 per annum

Full (AEv) Members are certified Authorised Engineers (Ventilation) who have been evaluated and peer-reviewed according to the SVHSoc registration process. Full Members can nominate individuals for Associate Membership in the Society.  The status of all Associate Member candidates will be assessed and decided by the Executive Committee and Full Members based on merit.
