BACCN: West Midlands

Welcome to our Regional pages.

BACCN West Midlands Needs You!

BACCN's West Midlands regional committee URGENTLY needs new committee members to help them to continue to develop their services for their regional members.

We are aware of everyone’s heavy work commitments these days, but are sure that most of you could find some time to enhance your networking by becoming part of a regional committee, the more people you have to share the work the better.

Are you interested in finding out more about becoming a BACCN West Midlands regional committee member? If so the committee would love to hear from you. Please email Lesley Smith via lesley.smith@uhns.nhs.uk

We look forward to hearing from you.

UNFORTUNATLEY THE STUDY DAY ARRANGED FOR 2ND JUNE ABOUT CUIRASS VENTILATORS HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT BOOKINGS AS WERE THE PREVIOUS 2 STUDY DAYS.

There have been some changes to the regional committee in the last few months, the greatest of which is that Maggie Horner has now retired.

Maggie was a founder member of the committee in 1987 following a 'prod' from a medical colleague who had been to a conference and felt that we should have a West Midlands Region.

Maggie has held several key posts over the years including secretary and chairperson; she has given her time tirelessly to meetings, organising and hosting study events and she will continue supporting local events where possible.

Maggie will be missed by us all and indeed, everyone at BACCN.

Welcome to two new enthusiastic members to the committee; Marian Warner and Amy Horton. Contact details are on the Committee page.

This years BACCN National Conference is 13-14 September 2010 entitled 'Taking Pride in Practice' and the call for papers has now been made. Further details on the main BACCN website.
