Training and professional development



Induction days for practitioners

are held twice a year (or more often if there is a demand). These are very popular and provide an introduction to the wide variety of work our practitioners and specialists undertake with artists from all branches of the performing arts. And of course, they give you opportunities to get together with colleagues who share your enthusiasm! Equally, you will be able to meet the staff from the BAPAM office who will be supporting you throughout the period of your involvement with us.

Training days

are held twice a year and offer an in-depth look at some of the key areas covered by BAPAM practitioners. These training days are always very popular because they offer unique insights into aspects of performers’ health and wellbeing. We always try to get a performer’s perspective as well as medical practitioner’s input. We cover all aspects: physiological, psychological, treatment and prevention as we know that it is vital to look at the whole performer not just the condition.
