You can find more information on the benefits of becoming a BDIAP Member on our Membership Benefits page. 

Your membership is non-transferable. For GDPR purposes we do not advise you to share your login information with anyone else.

Your username will usually be the email address you registered for Membership with. If you are unsure of what this may be, please contact us so we can confirm this with you. If you have forgotten your password, you can always reset this on the login page. 

If you are experiencing any issues logging in, please contact us by email to let us know, including as much information as possible of the issues you are experiencing.

Only Ordinary Members of the BDIAP can sponsor Membership applications. As the applicant, you will need to request permission from the sponsor/s directly and input their name and email address (associated with their BDIAP Member record) into the application form.  

This happens when the email address input in the form does not match the email address on our system. Your sponsor/s will need to contact the administrative team directly to double check their email address. Please note, for GDPR reasons we are unable to share personal information with anyone other than the Member themselves.

As a sponsor, once the potential Member has submitted their application, you will be sent an email notifying that you are a nominator or seconder for the applicant. This gives you the option to either support the application (by taking no action) or withdraw your support within 3 days. After this time, the application will then proceed to the next stage, where nothing further is required from you.

You will firstly need to log into your Member’s Area. Once logged, click on the ‘Manage Profile’ link to update your personal information. Please note, email addresses are considered vital information and you will need to contact the administration team to have this changed.

You will need to log into your Member's Area and on your 'Manage Profile' page there will be options to opt in or out of receiving Event, Newsletter and Histopathology Journal Notifications.

We offer Senior Membership for those retiring from active practice. This type of Membership is only available to our Ordinary Members who are retiring from active practice. Please contact the administrative team for more information.

No further login to Wiley is required for either of these methods. 

As of January 2022, Histopathology will only be available to members via online access. Together with Wiley, the BDIAP are taking actions to minimise our environmental impact of printing, wrapping, and shipping issues of Histopathology to members.

There may be some previous printed back copies of the annual review and monthly Histopathology Journal issues still available.
