We have 25 specialist groups who each make a unique and significant contribution to the BDA's work. They respond to national consultations, represent the profession, advance clinical specialisms, support members and so much more.
Each year the BDA says thank you to one group which has demonstrated why it should be regarded 'Specialist Group of the Year'.
