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.
