In order to make sure the BMA caters to its wide membership, it's important that we know what you think of our products, services and initiatives, so we can understand what you really need from us. The contribution of the feedback group is central to making this happen.

What is the BMA feedback group?

The group consists of grassroots medical students and doctors from all career stages and branches of practice. We consult them to gauge their needs, hopes and challenges with working in health and care, and to capture their feedback and ideas on the membership benefits and BMA initiatives.

While the group does not have influence in shaping our healthcare policy, members will:

• act as sounding boards for new activities at the BMA
• give their opinions on marketing collateral, messages and member benefits
• be our eyes and ears on the ground, to feedback on external developments that could impact the BMA.

Why join us?

Joining the BMA feedback group is a great way to get involved and share your views on our activity.

• You can help us better understand doctors' needs and concerns.
• You can help create innovative products and services for doctors.
• Participation looks great on your CV.
• We often offer vouchers or prize draws as a thank you for your participation.

Who can join?

The group is open to all doctors and medical students who do not hold an elected position with the BMA. The composition of the group reflects the core branches of practice, from medical students through to consultants and retired doctors.

It includes doctors who have never been - or who are no longer - BMA members, as well as those who have a current membership with us.

This is an opportunity for grassroots doctors to help shape some of the BMA’s activities.

What does it involve?

Group members will be contacted on an ad-hoc basis. Research activities may include invitations to participate in face-to-face or online focus groups, interviews, or surveys. Members might also be asked to test new products and services we offer, or receive emails soliciting their opinions, feedback, or new ideas. Any contributions are greatly appreciated!

How do I join?

Please email [email protected] to get involved or if you have any questions about becoming a member of the group.

What does it cost?

All we ask is for some of your time and there is no financial cost to you.
