Dear all,

I hope this message finds you all well and in good health.

Here is a brief update on how the recent events of Great Partnership and BAPA-AGM went. For those who managed to attend I am sure you will agree with me that it was a real success despite the freezing weather. The attendance exceeded our expectations and the talks and interactive sessions were well received with very positive feedback and appreciation from all.

The success of the meeting came as a result of dedication and hard work from BAPA team in co-operation with the chairs and some executive members of other associations within the GP.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all BAPA members who have contributed in making this meeting a success in particular Dr S El-Hilu, Dr Feras Mustafa, Dr Sarmad Nadeem, Dr Mohamed Abdel Maksoud and to everyone else who have helped and supported us as I can’t list everyone.

There are current and future challenges facing doctors and may be more so for those with different ethnic backgrounds i.e. possible discrimination in MRCPsych exam results, higher number of doctors referred to GMC and less occupation of important positions at the College from this group to name only a few which were discussed at the conference.

The Great Partnership which include BAPA will be working more closely in the future to try and positively influence some of the above outcomes and it has already made a recent success by influencing the College decision re extending the opportunity for MRCPsych part-1 holders.

BAPA-AGM took place over the weekend and there were encouraging remarks from members who attended for BAPA to progress and prosper. For this to happen we agreed that more efforts from all members need to be put together, so please continue all your efforts of support.

Election took place and new executive committee was elected as follows:

Dr Nadim Almoshmosh Chair
Dr Mahmoud S Ahmed as Vice Chair,

5 Executive Officers:

Dr Husni Al-Robb
Dr Hesham Rustom
Dr Feras Mustafa
Dr Sarmad Nadeem
Dr Muhamed Abdel Maksoud

Duties and roles will be distributed shortly.

I would like to thank you all for putting your confidence in us and I hope we will live up to your expectations.

Best wishes

Nadim Almoshmosh
