AGM
Every NASS branch should hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM). We would like these to be held in the first quarter of each year. Download the guide to running a branch AGM.
Complaints
NASS has an official complaints policy. Please do pass it to anyone who wants to make an official complaint.

Membership and medical form
Each member should complete an updated health form provided by your physiotherapist. Any important changes in health over the past 12 months should be highlighted and discussed in advance of their first session. Members should be aware that they must inform their NASS physiotherapist on any given week should their general health change.
Your physiotherapist may have their own health form which they prefer to use or are asked by their Trust to use. This form is for any branch who needs a form.
Returning to physical sessions after COVID19
Our guide for branch committees on returning to branch sessions can be downloaded below. This guide was last updated in May 2021. There is also a guide for members which can be adapted by branch committees to include venue rules.

If someone is stepping down from their role and you’re hoping to find someone new it’s good to give a clear idea of what’s involved. We’ve included three different role descriptions.
