At the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM), one of our aims is to support medical and nursing students, while also encouraging an interest in neonatal care.

This year’s BAPM Student Essay Competition was launched recently. The winner will receive free entry to our 2-day Spring Conference, in Northampton, in March, including hotel and travel costs https://www.bapm.org/pages/student-essay-competition 

Closing date: 17 December 2025.

Full-time bachelor level students can take advantage of free BAPM membership, one of the benefits of which is access to range of resources including webinar recordings.

We are always happy to welcome more student members – https://www.bapm.org/pages/6-membership
