BAPO – New name, new logo

Dr Nicky Eddison

Chair, BAPO

“Changing our name from the British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists to the British Association of Prosthetics and Orthotics is more than a change in words, it’s a reflection of who we are. We are a united, diverse, and compassionate community. This new, inclusive identity recognises the vital contributions of everyone in our profession; technicians, support workers, learners, prosthetists, and orthotists,  and celebrates the collective impact we have in transforming lives.”
