Dr Nicky Eddison
Chair, Ƶ
“Changing our name from the British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists to the British Association of Prosthetics and Orthotics is more than a change in words, it’s a reflection of who we are. We are a united, diverse, and compassionate community. This new, inclusive identity recognises the vital contributions of everyone in our profession; technicians, support workers, learners, prosthetists, and orthotists, and celebrates the collective impact we have in transforming lives.”
