As you may know, The British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists (BAPO) is organising the third ‘Prosthetists and Orthotists Day’ on 7th September 2023.
The awareness day aims to raise the profile of the two roles with both health and care professionals and the general public. The day will provide an opportunity for prosthetists and orthotists to celebrate their profession and the benefit these roles have for those patients who access the services they provide.
This year we would like to celebrate everyone who is involved in prosthetics and orthotics. We’re asking everyone to share a 60-second video clip with us telling us why you are proud to work in the profession.
Please share video clips by tagging BAPO via social media using the hashtag – #ProudtobePO23
Your video clip will automatically be entered into a prize draw with the randomly selected winning entry receiving a £100 voucher. (UK Only)
Please see below examples of what you could include in your video clip:
Example 1) – Hi my name is XXX and I am a XXX, working in/with X. I am proud to be a X because XXX.
Example 2) – Hi my name is XXX and I am a XXX working in/with X. I chose to become a XXX because XXX. I am proud to be a X because XXX.
The P&O Day 2023 working group has created a P&O Day toolkit which includes various assets for BAPO members to use in their place of work to help raise the profile of the awareness day. Please follow the links below to access the toolkit.
