Membership fees
The main source of funding for the network comes from the fees paid by its members. However, in order to provide the widest access to our resources we have always aimed to keep our subscriptions at as low a level as possible. At our 2023 AGM it was agreed that there would be a fee increase of 7.9% for 2024.
Membership fees are based on the location of the organisation/individual. The World Bank classification is used to determine High and Upper-Middle income economies and Lower-Middle- and Low-income economies. Details of this can be found here.
Organisations are further categorised by small organisations (with a maximum of 10 staff members) and large organisations.
The table below shows our current annual membership fees approved at the 2023 AGM, effective 1 April 2024
| Main Category | Sub Category | Fees |

| Organisation | Large organisation (>10 staff) | £2,783 |

Consumer organisations | £650 |
| Individuals | Individual member | £357 |
| Consumer representative * / student | £46 |
| Low and lower-middle income country | £46 |

| Small organisation (<11 staff) | £2,783 |
* The term “consumer” is used to address all groups (who are not healthcare professionals) who contribute to or could potentially contribute to evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. This includes individuals:
• who have a condition or disability relevant to guidelines in use, in development or in need of development, or being implemented
• such as family and friends who provide unpaid care
• from organisations representing consumer interests, including voluntary sector or non-governmental organisations.
Synonyms of consumer include ‘patient’, ‘carer’ ‘consumer advocate’, ‘service user’, ‘user representative’ or ‘patient representative’.
The individual patient/consumer representative fee applies to individual patients only and does not apply to a representative of a patient advocacy group.
The GIN membership year runs from 1st April until 31st March in line with our financial year. In order to be eligible for a reduced conference registration, you/your organisation must have paid the full membership fees for that year. For “umbrella organisations”, conference discounts apply to employees only, not affiliates or members of that organisation.
