Once you have joined the forum you can:

Send a message to fpm-forum: send it to fpm-forum@mail-list.com

Access the archive: click here (you'll need the username and password which are at the foot of every forum message)

Choose the format in which you want to receive fpm-forum messages (this can be either as a series of individual messages each day [one message for each topic thread], or as a single message comprising a digest of all messages sent that day). The default setting is a series of individual messages, you can switch to the digest by sending an email to fpm-forum-switch@mail-list.com

Leave fpm-forum permanently: send an email to fpm-forum-off@mail-list.com

Guidelines for sending messages to the forum:

Subject headings: please be succinct in the subject you specify for your question in order that others will be able to find it in the archive. For example, a heading ‘locum pay rates’ will be easier to find in the archive than ‘what do you do about finding out how much to pay a locum?’

Employment law questions: if you have an employment law question please use the Advice Line, the forum does not accept employment law questions.
