BAPAM is the medical charity for the performing arts.

With 40 years of experience supporting artists, creators and professionals, we understand the unique physical and psychological demands of a creative career.

On stage, backstage, on set, in the studio, teaching, on tour, at college – if you have a health problem related to your work or study in performing arts, BAPAM can help.

We provide free face to face consultations around the UK, with the benefits of comprehensive in-person assessment, including being able to demonstrate your performance. Flexible and accessible online consultations are also available, and BAPAM clinicians are skilled in ensuring that virtual consultations provide a thorough assessment and help you access effective ongoing treatment and care when needed.

We offer support with physical and psychological health concerns, voice problems, hearing issues and other conditions affecting your work and practice in the performing arts. BAPAM clinicians have a deep understanding of creative sector health needs, and will work with you to explore how your symptoms affect your work and give advice on how to overcome problems quickly and safely. We will give you information that you can share with your NHS GP and other health professionals, and signpost to expert further care and treatment when needed.

The BAPAM team can advise you about other financial and practical support, and we work in partnership with organisations including Help Musicians, PPL, Equity, the PRS Members’ Fund, the Musicians’ Union, Equity Charitable Trust, the Royal Society of Musicians, Actors’ Benevolent Fund and the Royal Variety Charity.
