Health and Care Practice Area - Member Engagement Survey

Would you like to join the profession’s health and care community?

The way the different IFoA practice areas, such as Health and Care, identify which members to engage with is determined by the categories that you have selected on your member profile on the IFoA website. So if you have not ticked the ‘Health and Care’ box then you are not going to get any communications tailored to that area!

The Health and Care practice area has a very diverse membership, with people working in many different fields. The Health and Care Board is keen to create a vibrant and thriving community for actuaries who want to be involved in health and care research, CPD, conferences and events.

We would like to find out a bit more about you in order to ensure that we continue to engage with you in the most appropriate way and provide the right kinds of opportunities.

We would really appreciate it if you could spend 5 minutes to complete our survey.
