The British Academy of Audiology’s Audiologist of the Year Award was created in memory of Peggy Chalmers and celebrates an individual who has gone above and beyond to put patients first.

Dr Parmar said:

“I am honoured to receive this award in recognition of my clinical work. I have been inspired and supported by so many clinicians, researchers, and patients over the years and I truly love being an audiologist.”

Professor Jonathan Gale, Director of the Ear Institute, said: 

“Huge congratulations to Bhavisha for this extremely well-deserved award. It’s fantastic to see Bhavisha’s exceptional commitment to the audiology profession, through her clinical and voluntary work, being celebrated and I’m delighted that she received several nominations for this prestigious award.”
