Do you have concerns or worries that you would like to talk to someone about?
Our telephone helpline, as part of our national support services, normally operates 9.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Saturday
If you get no reply please leave your name and number and we shall attend to your call as soon as possible.
If you have a question or issue that is best in writing, please write to our Head Office who will try to find an appropriate person to answer it.
All the people who answer our helplines have been patients or carers so are likely to understand your concerns because they have been there.

BCPA Annual General Meeting
The 2009 Annual General Meeting will be held at the Westminster Hotel, Mansfield Road, Nottingham, at 3.30pm on Saturday 16th May 2009.
The Westminster Hotel, part of the Best Western Group, is one mile from the city centre. This traditional hotel with its variety of rooms makes a welcome change from the modern uniform chain hotel approach.
Access to the hotel is good – being only 10 minutes from M1 motorway Junction 26. Members wishing to visit the city may travel in by car, bus, or the fast efficient tram service that runs close to the hotel.
For the third year running we are able to offer hotel accommodation at a very reasonable £60.00 per double room per night and £50.00 per single per night including breakfast.
We are making a departure from the pattern of recent AGM weekends by concentrating all the activities into one day. The Coordinators meeting and AGM will both take place on Saturday afternoon followed by an Open Session.
While we are concentrating activities into the Saturday, members are welcome to attend the hotel for both Friday and Saturday nights.
Members will have the opportunity to visit the City or to explore some of the many attractions within an easy distance both during Friday and on Saturday morning.

We know that both Friday and Saturday evenings have proved popular with members. Friday evening provides an opportunity to meet up with friends from previous years or to make new ones. Saturday evening will be the usual Gala Dinner.
Regular attendees at AGM weekends will assure you of our warm welcome and friendly company.
Fuller details will appear in the February/March Journal. For further information and a booking form please telephone the Chairman, Keith Jackson on 01949 836430 or Head Office on 01949 837070.
