A Year in Review

The British Academy of Audiology play a vital role in the development, visibility and influence

of the audiology profession. This year in review was a busy one for the Board of Directors of

your professional body. We feel we accomplished a lot for an organisation our size and we

are proud of what we achieved. Most of it would not be possible without our amazing

member volunteers, who sit on our various committees. We thank you all for your time, effort

and commitment.

We have endeavoured to focus most of our activities on four key areas of work as defined by

our annual plan. There’s still much to do and we continue to be determined and targeted in

our efforts.
