At HCSA we see you as an individual and aim to offer a timely personalised, bespoke service. We have a track record of giving expert individual workplace support and guidance through our network of highly experienced National Officers.
We’re run by practising doctors working in the hospital environment, experiencing the real issues, first-hand, that affect you. HCSA focuses on the pay, terms and conditions of all grades, and circumstances affecting the quality of care they provide. We are not affiliated or aligned to any political party, and are not distracted by GP matters.
HCSA members are not alone when they face difficulties – support and advice from our experienced staff is only a click or phone call away. If your case escalates you will receive ongoing personal support from one of our National Officers.
Not only does HCSA offer a more bespoke service than the alternatives, but HCSA membersip is very reasonably priced. Current rates are available above.
We provide a free contract-checking service to all hospital grades, so you can be sure that you are not being asked to do things you shouldn’t be.
We understand the value of professional negotiators when in discussion with Government or employers. We employ a skilled team of experienced trade unionists in order to secure the best deal possible for our members, and are Trades Union Congress affiliates. This gives us access to the resources and facilities of the mainstream trade union movement.
We are a campaigning union which takes positions on those issues that are unique to our membership at local level, as well as a stance on wider national policy where this impacts on hospital workforces and services.
Our partnership with external lawyers gives access to preferential rates on personal legal services, including reduced rates on conveyancing, will-writing, tax planning, estates and trusts, and family and matrimonial cases. Members can also access a free personal injury service and a free half-hour legal consultation.
