Achievements and performance
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic still resonates in the NHS, with unprecedented demand for elective and emergency surgery against a background of limited capacity. This has continued to raise the profile of day surgery delivery and that of BADS, it being the only association in the UK dedicated to promoting excellence in the delivery of day surgery care. BADS success in developing hybrid ways of working means it has flexibility to ensure delivery of its charitable aims without interruption or delay.
Membership
At the end of 2022, active membership was 558.
Membership subscriptions
These are reviewed annually. In September 2022 it was decided not to increase annual membership fees and to review in September 2023. The Council was conscious that nursing, allied health professional and trainee members may be at greater disadvantage due to the cost-of-living crisis. Staff and publication savings can be used to support a freeze in subscriptions, enabling members to continue their membership and benefit from BADS educational resources.
Governance
Work continued to strengthen BADS governance with agreement for the establishment of regular, annual strategic planning meetings. The initial meeting for December 2023, however, had to be postponed to January 2023 due to rail transport industrial action.
BADS Administration
BADS employed a staff member to act as an administrator for the Association, who retired in November 2022. During and after the Covid-19 pandemic, the employee worked from home. This did not impede any of BADS activities. The BADS Council took the opportunity to review the Association's administrative requirements.
-
As a result, the day-to-day administrative support was outsourced to an independent contractor from November 2022, who works from home and who is paid by the hour. This removed a requirement for a workplace pension scheme and governance policies relating to staff employment.
-
Administrative support for BADS conferences remains outsourced and contracts were renewed in 2022.
-
The annual conference is managed by Event Management Direct
-
The one-day virtual conference programme is managed by Healthcare Conferences UK
-
In conjunction with this it was agreed by the Council to
-
Manage all documentation electronically.
-
Introduce accounting software starting from the new financial year (01/01/23)
-
Pilot outsourcing of social media management, as this is increasingly an important marketing strategy, with a review to be undertaken in 2023, after 6-months, of its effectiveness. Managing social media had not been undertaken by the former employee.
It is anticipated overheads/staff/office rental costs with be substantially reduced, releasing charity funds for investment in its activities.

Financial review
Principal Funding Sources
The principal source of funds is income from
-
Subscriptions
-
The annual programme of one-day virtual conferences
-
The annual conference
-
Publications
-
Strategic Alliance and Educational Partnerships
Financial review of the year
Income for the year amounted to £186,469 (2021: £97,635) and after deducting expenditure of £153,799 (2021: £83,440), the net income for the year amounted to £32,670 (2021: £14,195).
Investment Policy
The Council members consider that there are no funds available for long-term investment and, having considered the options available, have decided to place available funds in Bank Deposit Accounts.
Reserves Policy
Despite a challenging year for members, a combination of prudent management and adjustment of our conference offer has resulted in a) no requirement to call upon our reserves during the last financial year and b) a further improved financial position for BADS. No major calls upon capital are anticipated outside of planned expenditure during 2023/24. As a consequence the considered view is that the proposed level of reserves held during 2023/24 remain unchanged.
The committee has concluded that a prudent range of reserves to be held from unrestricted funds not committed would be a minimum of six months operating costs and a maximum of 12 months operating costs. For 2022/23 this is proposed to be towards the higher end of the range. This would amount to £120,000.
Free reserves at the year end amounted to £224,582 (2021: £191,912). The surplus reserves will be used to help the charity to maintain its presence and provide education in day surgery practice in the ever more challenging environment of the NHS. The charity hopes to develop benchmarking for all NHS trusts to use and work towards an accreditation program for day surgery.
Total restricted reserves at the year end amounted to £10,025 (2021: £10,025).

Plans for future periods
The BADS Council aims to continue in its activities to the Association's charitable objectives. This will Encompass:
-
Developing its existing collaborations with national bodies (e.g., GiRFT, CPOC) to promote the importance of and support day surgery delivery as part of the national elective recovery programme.
-
Introduction of regular, annual strategic planning meetings.
Impact of Covid 19
BADS Article of Association were revised and approved at the Association's 2022 Annual General Meeting to allow for hybrid attendance at Council meetings, in keeping with Charity Commission advice.
The Council agreed that BADS annual programme of one-day conferences, which were moved to a virtual format during the Covid-19 pandemic should remain virtual as running costs have been reduced substantially and attendance and incomes increased compared with when these were run as face-to-face meetings.
Income Risks:
BADS income is derived from the following sources.
-
Subscriptions
-
The annual programme of one-day virtual conferences
-
The annual conference
-
Publications
-
Strategic Alliance and Educational Partnerships
Income from both Subscriptions and Literature sales are up on the previous year. Subscriptions are generally paid at the start of the year and are not deemed a risk within this accounting period. It is also possible that more NHS Trusts and NHS Foundation Trusts will seek to further expand their day case capability and capacity as there is a clear evidence base of both quality and financial benefits.
The Trustees recognise that impact upon the profits of strategic allies and as a consequence place at risk the income from strategic alliances. However, 3 year contracts are in place which would guarantee income in 2023/24.
Reputation risks:
BADS council have a strong professional reputation and a solid governance framework which is continually reviewed and revised as appropriate to mitigate potential reputational and financial risks.
Continuity risks:
Risks for continuity arise from the potential loss of key council members. This risk is mitigated by.
