Conference
As you may know the organising and finalising of the conference
which is happening at The Point, Lancashire cricket ground is now well
underway. We look forward to seeing many of you there, and would like to thank
both the Conference Committee and the Secretariat for helping to organise this;
if you haven’t got your tickets yet there is still time to register online or by phoning the Secretariat.
We are looking forward to celebrating BAPO’s 20th Anniversary throughout the
weekend, looking at what BAPO has done and what BAPO is currently doing.
Professional Affairs
The Professional Affairs committee are currently working on some
commissioning documents that will be championed by Linda Hindle, AHP lead at
public health England. This will be a series of documents with case studies,
which will advise commissioners allowing them to understand the role of
Prosthetists and Orthotists and how they can help deliver suitable care in
practice. These documents will be
publically available online.
AHP Informatics - Telehealth,
Telecare & Telemedicine
BAPO is
assisting with some work by the National AHP Informatics Strategic Taskforce
(NAHPIST) to look into how information is collected, managed and shared to
support the delivery of healthcare and promote health.
We would really like your assistance in this matter so we can find out about current practices and establish your current knowledge, attitudes towards and understanding of Informatics, Telehealth, Telecare and Telemedicine.
This information will help greatly with the planning, training and communication of these key areas in order to enhance and drive patient care across this diverse professional group.
It will take approx
10 minutes to complete and, apart from indicating which AHP group you are from,
it is completely anonymous.
The survey will close at the end of March.

Career Structure
Documents
The
Prosthetics and Orthotics Career Framework is now complete and available on the
BAPO website. Andrew
Nicol worked on behalf of North West Education England and Salford University
to produce these framework documents. He
will be available throughout the conference to talk about this work. BAPO were one of the key stakeholders in
producing these documents.
