Subscription Rates
Membership at the British Orthopaedic Association comes in many different categories to suit all stages of your career. At our 2012 Annual General Meeting it was decided to add a Congress Supplement to the subscription, that will allow our members to register for the Annual Congress for free during the 'early bird' registration period.*

Your membership fee may be tax deductible!
Did you know that if you pay your membership subscription from your earnings and live in the UK, you may be able to claim tax relief on your membership fees - reducing the cost of your membership!
