Hello Students Welcome to the student section of the BAA website. This section will  provide you with some insight into what is going on within the BAA and the profession from a student perspective. Since November I have been BAA Representative for the  Student and Trainee committee and aim to continue to develop  all the hard work of my predecessor Danny Kearney put in place. The Student and Trainee committee will endeavour to reflect the views of students from across the UK and help to get more students involved in the BAA. We plan to use this website as one of main methods of communication and it will be launched properly in September Once again there will be a dedicated student session BAA conference in Edinburgh. Building on the success of previous conferences, Edinburgh 2010 is planned to be the biggest BAA conference yet. Please get involved with this aspect of the BAA as big prizes can be won. For instance, last year Lee Sergeant from Aston University won the Oticon student of the year award. He took home a £250 prize and got the chance to make his own ITE hearing aids at Oticon's head quarters. The student party night will also be arranged at this years conference. Feedback from those who attended last year's night was fantastic. We hope to build on this and get more of you involved. Tickets for this night will now be advertised on the conference registration form. Don't miss out on this one! Furthermore the BAA is looking for the newest recipient of the Lisa Bayliss Award this year. This prize is based on those who display an exemplarily high standard of clinical skills on their Year 3 clinical placement. A nomination form will be posted on the website shortly   Enjoy your summer - September will come round very quickly! Leigh Martin Student and trainee Representative
