Join APCA as a member

Joining APCA means becoming part of a unique, dynamic community of palliative care professionals and supporters across and beyond Africa, all committed to one cause: promoting palliative care for everyone who needs it on the continent. Membership offers unparalleled opportunity to contribute to the development of life-changing palliative care, and to receive support in your work and career from a wide range of experts.

What APCA membership offers
An evolving package of benefits, including:

  • Access to a dynamic, growing community of palliative care experts and supporters, offering  solidarity, practical help and excellent networking opportunities across and beyond the continent.
  • Access to a member-only discussion board with palliative care specialists.
  • Quarterly APCA e-newsletter that includes up-to-date palliative care news throughout the continent, including information on bursaries, workshops, and resources.
  • Eligibility to apply for bursaries to the APCA conference.
  • If working in Africa: voting rights for the selection of APCA's board of directors, which takes place at the APCA conference every three years.
  • Privileged access to the APCA educational resource centre.

Choose your type of membership
There are three types of APCA membership to choose from:

  • Membership within Africa

This includes full voting rights for the selection of APCA board members.
Cost: organisations $100 per year; individuals, $30 per year.

  • Membership outside Africa

Members beyond Africa aren't eligible to vote for APCA board members, but still enjoy the wide range of benefits from being part of APCA's ever-growing network
Cost: organisations $150 per year; individuals, $50 per year.

When an organisation joins APCA, all its staff automatically become members and are eligible to apply for bursaries; however there is only one board vote per organisation. If other staff would like to vote themselves, they must become individual members. If you join as an organisation, please ask individual staff to fill in the application form, and to notify us if they're leaving your organisation so we can keep our records updated.
