Join Practitioner Directory Are you a health care practitioner working with performing artists? Find out how to join our directory of practitioners.		Practitioner training Training and professional development provision for performing arts medicine practitioners.

BAPAM relies on services provided by health care professionals who have a passion for the performing arts. We want to hear from you!

BAPAM training days provide an in-depth look at some of the key areas of performing arts medicine and unique insights into aspects of performers’ health and wellbeing. Our induction days, free for practitioners who have just joined our directory, are an introduction to performing arts medicine, and the work that BAPAM does, as well as an opportunity to meet colleagues from this fascinating area of health care.

The BAPAM Practitioner Directory lists information about clinical specialists, GPs and other health practitioners working with actors, dancers, musicians and other performing artists around the UK and Ireland.

In addition, we are always on the lookout for GPs to see performing artists at BAPAM assessment clinics around the UK.

Interested? Here’s what some of the people working with BAPAM say about us:

Why I work as medical advisor to the Hallé Orchestra - Dr Bill Tamkin, Pulse magazine January 2008

Fascinating. It’s great to have extra time with patients and see them with their instruments. They’re a highly motivated group and always keen to understand their problem. You feel like you can make a difference. Working with colleagues from other disciplines is not only a valuable learning experience, it’s also great fun! Read Dr David Fielding’s story

I enjoy the variety of problems our clients consult us for – and the wide range of clients from trapeze artists to dervish flute players. I specially value having so many specialists I can refer patients to. I had no idea there were so many people who could offer such effective help. Retired consultant who volunteers for BAPAM as a general physician

The overriding issue is preventing injuries. So few performers and practically no students are warming up, cooling down, taking regular breaks, practising scientifically and achieving and maintaining physical fitness. Consultant Rheumatologist to BAPAM
