**BAHT Conference 2020 Cancelled**
 
With Government advice warning against all public gatherings for the foreseeable future, we made the decision to cancel BAHT 2020 Southampton. 
 
Instead, we are planning to deliver a programme of online lectures and webinars on the theme 'Demystifying the Difficult'. The programme, intended to start in summer 2020 and spread across the year, will consist of sessions which can be individually booked.

BAHT membership discount will apply and we are hoping to deliver parts of the programme free of charge. We will be in touch with further details in due course.
Online survey about the use of Virtual Visits during the COVID19 pandemic. 


The researchers, Kristin Valdes and Mike Szekeres (Associate Editor of the Journal of Hand Therapy), are conducting a study to determine hand therapists’ experiences providing telehealth or virtual health services to clients. This is a new area to many hand therapists and they are interested to understand your experiences with telehealth.

Participation in this study involves the completion of an online survey. Completion of the survey will be anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks associated with participation in this study. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. Submission of the online survey will provide evidence of your consent to participate. 

The survey is comprised of primarily closed questions. It is expected that the survey can be completed in approximately 10 minutes.
