Our Mission.
The British Association of Paediatric Otorhinolaryngology (BAPO) is a professional membership organisation dedicated to advancing the care of children with ear, nose, and throat disorders. Through advocacy, education and collaboration, the Association strives to improve outcomes and quality of life for children with ENT conditions.
BAPO is a diverse and inclusive group of professionals, receptive to new ideas and suggestions. Through our scientific meetings and educational events, we provide forums where clinicians and allied professionals can share expertise, discuss best practice, and present clinical, translational, and basic scientific research relevant to children’s ENT care.
The Association takes a leading role in the development of paediatric otorhinolaryngology within the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, with particular attention to the needs of children, young people, and those in training. We are proud to have a vibrant BAPO juniors’ section, focussed on issues relevant to trainees.
Working closely with other professional bodies, BAPO offers expert advice and representation on matters relating to paediatric otorhinolaryngology to national organisations, policymakers, and scientific institutions.
