Abstracts, Posters and Free Papers

Free papers and posters are integral to the BAA conference. They provide the ideal opportunity for those working within the audiology field to share best practice, research, and network with colleagues, and for us to benefit from the work, knowledge and experience of our peers from across the UK.

The deadline for abstract submission has now passed. Thank you to everyone who has submitted their work. The conference organising committee is now reviewing all abstracts. We will be in touch in late August with the outcomes.

If you have any questions, please contact conference@baaudiology.org.
