Student Award is Coming to the
BAA Conference
Welcome to the summer edition of the BAA magazine.
I hope you are all looking forward to some holidays over the
coming months.
Conference 2017 has launched and the programme looks very
exciting – keep checking the BAA website and Horizon for updates. If you
haven’t already done so, please consider registering to attend – the Board and
Conference team have worked hard to ensure the event represents excellent
value for money.
We have recently been receiving less submissions for the magazine. We
understand everyone is very busy, but please do consider submitting articles,
course reviews, audit, research – anything you think would be of interest to our
readership. Please also email the Editor if there is a topic you would like to see in
a future edition.
Finally, this will be the last edition for me as Editor of the BAA Magazine as I take
on a new adventure outside the world of Audiology. It has been a pleasure and I
wish the BAA every success in the future.

Clinical Scientist (Audiology) and Team Leader of the Newborn Hearing
