The LA offer a number of awards, grants and prizes to encourage, promote, recognize and reward excellence in the prosthetic industry and outstanding achievements in the limb-loss and healthcare communities.
The awards we currently sponsor are:
This is an annual prize given as part of the BAPO Conference for prosthetic or orthotic technicians working in the UK. It is the largest prize available to technicians and has raised the profile of the vital role they play in the rehabilitation process.
The prize alternates between an all expenses paid trip to the Leipzig Prosthetic Expo (on years that the expo is held) or a European location of the winners' choosing (on the years when the Leipzig Expo is not held).
Technicians can apply by letting us know, in no more than 500 words, why they should travel to this location and why they should win this award. We would need an approximate breakdown of costs so we can work within our budget. The winner will be presented with the award at the annual BAPO Conference Prize-Giving ceremony.
To apply please send your entries, including your name, workplace and contact number to:
