From June 2024 onwards, for existing members and also new applicants, it is now possible to set up an auto-renewal, although the option for a single-year payment is still available.
The PayPal components of the process also allow a payment by credit card for those applicants who do not have a pre-existing PayPal account.
The subsequent annual auto-renewal is on a specific date, not 'start of month' / 'end of month'; a subscription taken out on (say) 23rd June will auto-renew each year on or about that date, subject to PayPal's own internal processes.
Sign-up is via the NMC Shop page; cancellation remains within the direct control of the applicant, via PayPal.
Existing Members:

When one of the 'Subscribe' buttons is pressed, a PayPal login is initiated, with a 'Check Out as a Guest' option for non-PayPal users - credit cards are accepted; the cost shown below will reflect the subscription type selected:
