Full members are resident in, working in, or citizens of the United Kingdom and have completed an undergraduate degree and/or relevant clinical training. Full members can vote on UKSBM matters and hold office (commercial conflicts of interest will be taken into account with regard to committee membership).

Student/Trainee members are enrolled in a course of accredited study or training, either full-time or part-time. Student/Trainee members must state the duration of their study or training and provide proof of enrolment at the time of application and annual renewal. Part-time students who are also currently employed in a clinical capacity are not eligible for student/trainee membership.

Associate members are those who support the purpose and objectives of the UKSBM, but do not meet the requirements of full membership (e.g., do not reside in the UK). Associate members cannot vote or hold office, but enjoy all other benefits of full membership. The Associate membership fee is £30 per year.
