Message from Luca Mucciaccia, BAMT Treasurer

Dear Colleagues,

I am Luca, Treasurer of BAMT since May 2017, and part of the Finance
Committee together with Ben Saul, Jane Carmichael, Nicola
Cunningham and Usha Aravinth.

The Finance Committee reports to Board of Trustees and is

accountable for monitoring and supervising our Finances.

Additionally, we provide guidance to achieve the overall BAMT

mission:

• Promote the profession and practice of music therapy in the UK;

• Act as a voice for those who could benefit from music therapy and for those who
provide music therapy.

In the last months we have changed the structure of our management accounts to make them
more easily understandable and most importantly forward looking.

In addition to the financial stability we have identified two additional Non-Financial Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs) to meet BAMT objectives:

• Number of Memberships (Full Members, Trainees, Associates);

•

We believe that setting targets for these KPIs and measuring the results is vital to achieve our
mission.

Finally, I am excited about the

for them.

With best wishes,

Luca Mucciaccia
BAMT Trustee & Treasurer

HCPC launches consultation on changes to registration fees
The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) has launched a consultation on proposals
to increase the registration fees it charges.

In the consultation, they are proposing an increase in the renewal fee from £90 to £106 per
year, with a similar level of increases to the other fees they charge.

The consultation will close on Friday 14 December 2018.

If the proposals are adopted the changes would be effective from 1 October 2019. Existing
registrants would pay the new renewal fee when their profession next renews its registration.

We would encourage all members to take part in this consultation. More details about the
consultation could be found in this page.

levels of stress.

It will take ca. 2hours of your time. The sessions will be held once (November/December
