Guidance on making a professional practice and /or PPMG membership enquiry

As part of the aims of PPMG to champion best practice, we welcome enquiries from BABICM members in relation to professional practice or relating to membership.

BABICM aims to deal with all enquiries as quickly as possible. Practice enquiries received by the office or the website, if relatively simple, will be addressed by the office.

If more specific practice guidance is required the enquiry is sent to the PPMG for their consideration. The PPMG will endeavour to respond as soon as possible. If it is not possible to collate a response by email they will do this at their next group meeting, which happen on average every two months.

BABICM makes every effort to minimise the length of time that a person waits for a response, however, it is important to note that, apart from the office, positions in BABICM are held by volunteers giving their own time and therefore additional meetings would not be scheduled to address enquiries.
