BACA is committed to the advancement of the study and research of anatomy and related disciplines by bringing together researchers, educators, clinicians, and students from all around the UK and creating opportunities for networking, mentoring and development.
BACA hosts two scientific meetings a year (Summer & Winter). The meetings are great opportunities for members and non-members alike, to network with academics and clinicians interested in anatomy from all over the world. If you are interested in hosting a meeting at your institution, please contact BACA's Meeting Secretary.
Our next meeting is the Winter Scientific Meeting on December 16th 2025.
