SUMMARY:BAA Journal Club with the University of Southampton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third of our 2026 Journal Clubs with students from the University of Southampton. \nPresenters: Jasmin Bain\, Daisy Collas\, Jennifer Mansbridge\, Charlotte Dennett \nArticle for discussion: Adult client perspectives of barriers and facilitators to successfully communicating about listening needs and concerns during audiology appointments: a qualitative study \nAuthors: Zoe McNeice\, Dani Tomlin\, Barbra Timmer\, Camille E. Short & Karyn Galvin  \nThis paper investigates adult clients’ perspectives on the barriers and facilitators they experience when communicating about their listening needs and concerns with their audiologist during appointments. Through qualitative interviews with adults who have attended audiology consultations\, it identifies key factors\, such as the audiologist’s communication style\, demonstration of understanding\, therapeutic relationship\, clients’ awareness and personality\, and clinic operational practices\, that influence whether clients feel able to express their listening difficulties and concerns effectively.

SUMMARY:The Therapeutic Power of Language Masterclass – Advanced Communication Skills for Clinical Practice
DESCRIPTION:For audiology professionals\, clinical excellence isn’t just about technical skill—it’s about how effectively we communicate with patients. The Therapeutic Language Workshop from Human Givens College offers BAA members a powerful opportunity to enhance one of the most underdeveloped yet critical clinical competencies: therapeutic communication. \nBuilt on a practical\, evidence-based psychological framework\, the Human Givens approach focuses on using language to reduce anxiety\, improve understanding\, and support behaviour change—skills that are directly transferable to audiology settings\, from managing patient expectations to improving adherence and outcomes. \nIn an environment where patient experience\, counselling\, and holistic care are increasingly prioritised\, this training enables audiologists to move beyond information delivery—to truly influence\, reassure\, and support patients more effectively in every interaction. \nVenues in London and Bristol. \nMon 13th & Tues 14th July\, in Bristol (Engineer’s House) \nTues 3rd & Wed 4th November\, in central London (Broadway House) \nLength 2 days (9:30am – 4:00pm) \nTutor: Dr Gareth Hughes \nAccredited CPD Certificate: 12 hours \nPrice: £440 per person \nIncludes lunch\, refreshments and course notes \nBook your place > https://www.humangivens.com/college/therapeutic-language-workshop/

SUMMARY:European Tinnitus Course
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the European Tinnitus Course (ETC) – a leading three-day\, in-person training experience delivering the most current\, clinically relevant and scientifically robust understanding of tinnitus and related sound tolerance disorders. Hosted by Tinnitus UK and taught by internationally recognised clinical and research experts\, this course offers a rare opportunity to deepen your expertise and strengthen your clinical confidence. \nWhy This Course Stands Out \nComprehensive and up-to-date content\nGain a thorough understanding of tinnitus\, from definitions and underlying mechanisms to epidemiology and the latest evidence-based management approaches. The course covers both audiological and psychological perspectives\, reflecting the complexity of tinnitus care. \nMultidisciplinary expertise\nLearn from a faculty of experienced audiologists\, ENT clinicians\, psychologists and researchers. The programme reflects real-world practice\, where collaborative\, cross-disciplinary approaches deliver the best outcomes for patients. \nPractical and interactive learning\nAlongside expert lectures\, the course includes practical elements such as mindfulness and relaxation approaches\, plus extended Q&A opportunities to deepen your understanding and apply learning directly to your clinical work. \nOngoing access to materials\nParticipants receive access to course slides after the event\, enabling you to consolidate your learning and implement new approaches within your own service or research setting. \nWho Is It For? \nThe European Tinnitus Course is ideal for: \n\nAudiologists looking to develop specialist tinnitus expertise\nENT surgeons\, audio vestibular physicians and auditory scientists\nPsychologists and psychiatrists interested in tinnitus management\nResearchers and clinical professionals seeking a deeper\, interdisciplinary understanding\n\nA background in psychology is not required – a solid biomedical foundation and a commitment to improving tinnitus care are what matter most. \nThe Professional Impact \nBy attending ETC\, you will: \n\nStrengthen your assessment and management skills\nIncrease confidence in delivering evidence-informed interventions\nGain insight into current research and emerging approaches\nBuild valuable professional networks with peers and leaders in tinnitus care\n\nWhether you are expanding your knowledge\, refining specialist skills or developing services\, ETC provides learning that can be applied immediately in practice. \nSecure Your Place \nSpaces are limited and allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis. This is a highly regarded course with strong demand each year. \nInvest in your professional development and enhance the care you provide to people living with tinnitus and hyperacusis. \nBook early to avoid disappointment. \nWith about one in seven of the population suffering from tinnitus\, we’ll provide you with an advanced understanding of tinnitus\, assessment and management of this distressing condition. Delivered face-to-face in three consecutive days\, we’ll cover concepts and management of tinnitus and hyperacusis\, as well as information from a number of perspectives\, including audiological\, psychological\, otological and neuroscience. \nWant to know more about the course? Read our Q&A with Don McFerran\, one of the course faculty \nVenue:  \nThe course will take place over three days at Park Plaza\, Nottingham (41 Maid Marian Way\, Nottingham\, NG1 6GD) \nDays/Times: \nThursday 15th October – 9am to 5pm \nFriday 16th October – 8.30am to 5pm \nSaturday 17th October – 8.30am to 3.45pm \nCourse fees: \n£750pp\nIf you are a corporate member\, you can book at a discounted rate of £700 \nCourse fees include lunch\, refreshments\, and certification.
