An so it begins - the annual BAPIO conference as told by Tanvir Alam. The voice of the voiceless for 29 years, a beacon of hope and excellence in all spheres

A great start with an introduction on the evolution of the MDS by Joydeep Grover and Satheesh Mathew

[BAPIO @BAPIOUK]

Key reflections from Alice Fitzpatrick at the BAPIO conference. PA and AA regulation has been over 20 years in the making, shaped by service needs and patient safety. Great to see the journey recognised and the teams who’ve built strong, multi-professional care. 💙

[BAPIO @BAPIOUK]

🩺 Reflections from Tanvir Alam on regulation and professionalism in healthcare. The panel highlighted that tensions around PAs stem not from the role itself, but from rapid expansion without early collaboration.

[BAPIO @BAPIOUK]

A powerful talk on regulation from APNA NHS vice chair Tista Chakravarty Gannon, shared by Tanvir Alam. As the workforce changes, the GMC’s role in keeping standards clear and consistent is vital. Strong, transparent regulation protects patients and supports teamwork across roles

[BAPIO @BAPIOUK]

Tanvir Alam shared a striking talk on NHS workforce challenges and opportunities. Strong data on the 10-Year Plan and IMG pressures set the scene, but Sujorita’s story stood out. Her FOI to the GMC exposed key issues, including 79% unemployment and rising PLAB doctors.

[BAPIO @BAPIOUK]

Tanvir Alam’s update from our conference:
The MWRES “5 Years On” review shows that despite a more diverse NHS, international graduates and ethnic minority staff still face big gaps in progression, opportunity, and workplace experience. A sobering reminder.
