Welcome to AMSPAR

AMSPAR is The Association of Medical Secretaries, Practice Managers, Administrators and Receptionists. It was established in 1964 with the aim of creating and promoting appropriate qualifications, initially for those working as medical secretaries and subsequently for medical receptionists, administrators and practice managers.

AMSPAR AMSPAR performs two functions. It is a professional membership organisation which recognises both formal qualifications and length of service in a healthcare environment. More than 4,500 members currently receive special privileges and services including access to a free legal helpline, a range of more than 90 carefully researched professional guidelines on a wide range of healthcare and employment topics and valuable work and non-work related discounts.

It is also an Awarding Body officially recognised by the Department for Education and Skills. We are supported by many examiners, moderators and verifiers who undertake duties on behalf of the Association but are not directly employed by the Association. The Association’s work is supported by a small core of employed staff at our head office in London.

Students who register with AMSPAR receive a complimentary copy of our quarterly magazine during their period of study. Those who achieve an AMSPAR Certificate are invited to become members of the Association at a reduced subscription rate, and students who complete an AMSPAR Diploma course are offered complimentary AMSPAR Membership for the remainder of the year.
