In addition to all the benefits of our standard IDrF membership, connected members benefit from an annual appraisal with one of our experienced appraisers, along with expert support and guidance from our Responsible Officer and revalidation team. You will gain access to specialised resources and guided support through the revalidation process.

This membership offers businesses and service providers the opportunity to connect with IDrF members, showcase their services, elevate their brand and contribute to the ongoing development of independent healthcare.
