About Us

Branches

BASPCAN branches do not have offices but are run by a local committee who organise seminars and events within their area. Further details of these can be found on the Branch Events page. Branch general information, meeting dates etc will be found under the various branches headings.

See below for a list of current BASPCAN branches. There are many areas of the UK not served currently by a branch and so if you feel that you can help establish a branch in your area, please contact the National Office, where staff can give help and advice on setting up a local branch.

All Wales Branch

Sponsorship to attend Congress 2012 

 At the Evening Seminar in Cardiff this week it was announced the Branch will sponsor one delegate to attend the Congress in Belfast next year.

The sponsorship will be for the delegate place, not for travel and accommodation. If you are interested in being sponsored please submit an application by email to me to include
• the reasons why you wish to attend,
• how you would use attending Congress to benefit your practice and your organisation
• whether you have ever attended a Congress before and when- if we have multiple applications of a similar standard those preference would be given to an applicant who has not had the opportunity to attend before.

In return the successful applicant will be expected to present ‘Their Congress Experience' at a Branch Seminar in the summer of 2012

Applications should be submitted by the end of December and the successful applicant will be contacted early in January 2013

We look forward to hearing from you
