Engage


The Joint Section Meeting is a valuable opportunity to network with fellow BHTA members, engage in meaningful conversations across different areas of the healthcare and assistive technology sector, and collaborate on the shared challenges and opportunities shaping the industry.

It brings members together in one room to exchange ideas, build stronger connections, and leave with practical insight that can support both their organisation and the wider BHTA community.

Don’t miss the chance to be part of the conversations, connections and practical insights shaping what comes next for BHTA members.
