How the Association is Run
The Health Care Supply Association promotes the work of supply chain staff at all levels in healthcare. The Association provides training events and educational seminars, sponsors awards and hosts a high-profile annual conference
The administration of the Association and organisation of events is undertaken by “Council” which consist of Branch Co-ordinators and other officers of the Association such as the Chair and Treasurer.
Membership is open to all purchasing and supply professionals within the healthcare sector in the UK. Please note: membership is currently not open to providers of products and services to the healthcare industry.
The Health Care Supply Association is affiliated with the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS).
HCSA is entirely self-financed through a combination of income from conferences, seminars, other training events and advertising. The Association is run by a Council of Members, all of whom are volunteers. The role of Council is to effectively use the funds available to provide members with networking, training and educational opportunities as part of their ongoing professional development whilst ensuring the sustainability of funding is maintained.
