We are pleased to share that BAMA has launched 9 new ‘quick guides’ covering the most frequently searched for and viewed subjects in our website library.
With a standardised structure in each guide, including background information, key sub-topics, and links to related regulations and other BAMA resources, the aim is to help members find answers to their queries and questions in just a few clicks. Members can download the new guides as a simple 2-page PDF or view them online in a bite-sized format.
Chief Executive, Patrick Heskins, says: “After examining how our library is used over an extended period, it became clear which topics were important to our members and therefore which ones should be prioritised. We know that time is a valuable currency for everyone, which is why we wanted to produce content that is easily digestible and simple to navigate.”
