Strategy

In 2019 the BOA, alongside the Executive team and Council Trustees, have produced a revision of the BOA Strategy, as well as a restructuring of committees. The previous BOA strategy focussed on three areas (Professional Practice, Training and Education and Research), with lengthy documents outlining expectations for each of these. 

The new BOA Strategy outlines the underpinning Vision, Mission and Values of the BOA in a succinct and accessible way, as well as putting forward the strategic priorities that stem from this.
