Earlier in 2022, BSHI received a number of direct and indirect reports of BSHI emails not being received by members. If any of your colleagues are affected, then please ask them to check their membership fees are up-to-date and also to check their Junk email folder as some Trusts have updated their settings. We have been assured that improvements have subsequently been made but if anyone encounters any further issues then please let us know.
