Today BAPO is excited to launch BAPO Bitesize — a new series of short, evidence‑based learning modules designed to fit professional development into busy clinical schedules. Each Bitesize episode delivers practical, peer‑reviewed insight in 10–15 minutes so clinicians, students and allied professionals can learn, reflect and apply knowledge between appointments.
What BAPO Bitesize is
- Short lessons: focused micro‑modules (10–15 minutes) on clinical topics, device technology, assessment techniques, outcome measures and service delivery.
- Evidence based: content reviewed by BAPO clinical leads and referenced to current best practice and guideline literature.
- Practical focus: quick tips, clinical pearls, case examples and downloadable one‑page aides to use in practice.
- Multi‑format: concise written summaries, infographic aides, and short video/slide explainers for different learning preferences.
Why BAPO created it
- To make high‑quality CPD accessible to clinicians who can’t always attend long courses.
- To share practical, implementable updates on device technologies and clinical pathways.
- To support students and newly qualified practitioners with bite‑sized, confidence‑building learning.
Who it’s for
- Prosthetists, orthotists and allied rehabilitation clinicians.
- Students and early‑career practitioners.
- Service managers and therapists seeking quick refreshers for team training.
