The BAD has a number of sub-committees to support the running of the organisation and to contribute to workstreams. We rely on volunteers from the membership, patients, and other experts to contribute to these sub-committees, for which we are very grateful. New sub-committee roles are advertised through member communications and on the website, here.

Advertising, Commercial Partnerships & Sponsorship Opportunities

We are always looking for ways in which we can do more to achieve our charitable objectives and increase the value of our work. One of the ways in which we can do this is through support from commercial sponsors or partners. Our most common sponsorship opportunities relate to events and exhibitions, our educational offerings, and awareness campaigns.
