British Association of Prosthetics and Orthotics (±¬ÁϳԹÏ) is pleased to announce the launch of its Journal Partnership Programme, a new initiative designed to strengthen collaboration between professional practice and academic publishing within prosthetics and orthotics.
Building on the success of ±¬ÁϳԹÏ’s existing partnership programme, this new strand focuses specifically on working with journals and publishers to improve access to research, support education and continuing professional development, and increase visibility for high-quality scholarly content within the profession.
Benefits for ±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Members
