Driven by enormous enthusiasm from the founding doctors, the Trust aimed to provide free clinical consultations tailored to the needs of performers, build a UK-wide network of experts in performing arts healthcare, train doctors and healthcare practitioners in Performing Arts Medicine, improve the health of performers through education in healthy practice, and further medical research in the emerging specialism.
From the initial founding vision, and thanks to the support of many individuals and organisations, BAPAM has built a UK-wide and industry-wide service for everyone working and studying in the performing arts.
