THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Status and History
BAOMS is a registered charity, and a company limited by guarantee, not having share capital. Every member undertakes to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of the charity being wound-up during the period of membership, or within one year thereafter.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery originated in the United Kingdom as the surgical specialty of dentistry, developing from the need for specialist services to treat jaw injuries sustained by servicemen during the two World Wars. It soon became clear that the prevalence of civilian facial injuries in peace time was at least as great, largely due to the increasing use of motor cars and motorcycles.
The specialty of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery evolved to meet the clear demand for treatment of an increasingly large range of pathological conditions of the face, jaws and teeth. The complexity of the specialty was reflected by a change of title from The British Association of Oral Surgeons to The British Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons in the year ended 30 June 1986.
The specialty Association was incorporated on 21 March 1997 and became a registered charity on 24 April 1997. BAOMS is governed by the rules and regulations set down in its company Memorandum and Articles of Association as last updated on 8 October 2021. As of January 2025, the Trustees and Council are reviewing the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Organisational Structure and Key Management
The overall strategic direction of the charity is determined by the trustees, who are assisted and advised by the other officers and members of the Council of the Association.
The Council normally has 18 members, but additional individuals will be co-opted to attend for specific relevant matters. The Council meets four times a year. The Council members outside Chair, Deputy Chair and the Editor receive no remuneration for their work carried out on behalf of the Association. Travel expenses are paid for all members of Council, who carry out work on behalf of the Association on various committees and working parties in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe.
A Chair of Council is appointed by Council and holds office for a term of four years. The incumbent chairs the Council meetings and represents the Association on a number of committees. The role of Chair of Council is nonvoting. The Chair of Council shall be appointed in the first instance as Deputy Chair of Council for a period of one year to run in parallel with the last year of office of the out-going Chair of Council.
The trustees consider that they, together with the Chair of Council and the Senior Administrator, comprise the key management of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-today basis.
The Chair of Council, being a paid role, is remunerated by the Association to the equivalent of two Programmed Activities (units of paid clinical time in the NHS), the equivalent of one working day per week on basic salary. This amount is paid direct to the employing Trust or Organisation in recognition of clinical time spent on Association business. The Deputy Chairman (when in post) is normally remunerated with half a working day per week, again based on basic salary, and paid to their employing NHS Trust. The Editor, being a paid role, is remunerated by the Association to the equivalent of two Programmed Activities (units of paid clinical time in the

NHS), the equivalent of one working day per week on basic salary. This amount is usually paid direct to the employing Trust or Organisation in recognition of clinical time spent on Association business. As of 1 September 2025 the current Editor is renumerated directly. The Senior Administrator is employed by the Association. Staff salaries are discussed and agreed annually at a Trustees meeting.
The day-to-day administration of the Association is carried out by Ms Sarah Durham, the Senior Administrator and Ms Dannielle Bellanca as Assistant Administrator.
Office space is rented from and based at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Additional facilities, such as Human Resources advice, are ‘bought in’ from the Royal College of Surgeons of England, as and when the need arises. Post pandemic the office team have continued to work in the office and from home.
Daily correspondence is dealt with by the office staff and copies are circulated to the trustees and/or the Chair of Council, as appropriate, for comment and dissemination to Council as required. A detailed work plan is agreed annually between the Senior Administrator and the trustees, which sets out the major aims and activities for each year.
The Association’s key goals (such as maintaining funding for the Research Fund) are constant factors in any given year. Other factors include:
-
Developing strategy for recruitment and retention within the specialty;
-
Preparing for the four Council meetings (agendas and papers are agreed by the Chair of Council, and then collated and sent from the office);
-
Organising and enhancing the clinical content of Annual Scientific Meetings (both current and future years);
-
• Invoicing and collecting annual Association subscriptions;
-
Maintaining Association membership records; and
-
• Observing the requirements and obligations of a charitable organisation.
Council appoints a number of sub-committees to organise different areas of the Association’s activities as detailed below:
-
The Endowments sub-committee oversees the award of clinical and research grants and prizes during the year. The committee meets twice a year and considers applications from all categories of membership for approval by Council. Application for grants is governed by guidelines and an application process, which can be downloaded from the Association’s website at www.baoms.org.uk. A formal peer review process by two independent reviewers is organised for grants in excess of £10,000.
-
The Clinical Effectiveness committee has now been replaced by Clinical Outcomes and the Quality and Outcomes in oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (QOMS) project. The project manager continues to deliver this work.
-
The Education and CPD sub-committee handles CPD accreditation and revalidation.
-
The Norman Rowe International Education Foundation (NRIEF) is responsible for work with overseas doctors arranging initiatives such as distance learning courses and humanitarian type initiatives.
In addition, Council spearheads initiatives relating to other education and research issues, public awareness and general promotion of the Specialty - as these are the central main objectives of the charity.

Method of Recruitment, Appointment, Election, Induction and Training of Trustees
Recruitment
Trustees are selected from past and present Council members (excluding retired Council members). The Honorary Secretary and the Honorary Treasurer may be recruited from the Fellows category of membership. An outline of the duties for each of the trustee positions is circulated to the relevant members of the Association. Nominations are then submitted together with a supporting statement from the applicant. These are then considered and a trustee appointed at a Council meeting at least three months prior to the post becoming vacant.
Appointment and Election
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the members of Council are elected to serve for a period of three years. All eligible fellowship categories of the Association are circulated with an outline of the duties required and nomination forms are submitted along with a statement of intent, which is included with an online election and then circulated to eligible voting members of the Association. Following a change to the Memorandum and Articles of Association in October 2021, the Presidential handover/Term of office was changed from 1 January to 31 December to 1 July to 30 June to allow for the handover to take place at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Association which is usually in June/July.
Induction and Training
Having accepted appointment, trustees are sent the main documents, which set out the operational framework of the Association, including the Memorandum and Articles of Association. In addition, trustees are directed to the Charity Commissions’ guide ‘the Essential Trustee’. On-going training for trustees is organised and provided by the Association as and when required. Demitting officers / trustees are encouraged to advise and inform new appointees where practicable.
Risk and Corporate Governance Matters
The trustees have reviewed the major risks facing the Association, aiming to minimise the charity’s exposure to risk, whilst attending to its viability and ensuring its longevity. The management of risk is the responsibility of the whole board of trustees, who monitor exposure through regular contact with Council members and office staff. The Association carries a range of insurances, renewed annually, to cover the key insurable risks associated with the administration of the charity’s activities, and office procedures ensure that daily back-ups are run for all of the Association’s data, including information published on the website.
The trustees consider the key risk facing the Association to be loss of membership. If this were to happen on any significant scale, there would be no reason for the Association to continue in existence and no meetings would need to take place. They constantly review the incentives and recruitment initiatives to engage as many practitioners of OMFS as possible in Association membership categories. The Association also has a risk register which is reviewed and updated annually.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the Trustees have prepared financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company, and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from the legislation in other jurisdictions.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to the Auditor
The trustees at the date of approval of this trustees’ annual report confirm that so far as each of them is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditor is unaware, and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Activities, Events and their Impact
The Association has been active in a number of areas:
BAOMS Annual Scientific Meeting
Hosted by: Professor Kathleen Fan, 63[rd] BAOMS President
The BAOMS Annual Scientific Meeting 2025 was held at the historic London Guildhall and centred on the theme of Global Practice.
During the meeting, the BAOMS AGM and Awards Ceremony took place on Wednesday 18 June and the Presidential handover took place on Friday 20 June, bringing the conference to a close.
The main scientific programme included the President’s lecture, delivered by Professor Mahmood Bhutta entitled: Medical supply chains: environmental destruction, sweatshops and child labour.

Across the three days, delegates attended 21 themed symposia , including a SAS Associate Fellows Afternoon and an OMFS Nurses Study Day .
We hosted 123 free paper presentations , running in parallel with keynote sessions and symposia. Thanks to grouped Q&A sessions, a new format this year, we were able to accommodate more presentations, which was well received. There were 150 ePoster abstracts , with the Top 20 posters displayed on-site. Interactive ePoster screens were available throughout the meeting. All accepted abstracts will be published in BJOMS , (under the condition that the main author attends the meeting).
Social Programme
The Welcome Reception on Wednesday 18 June was held in the Guildhall Art Gallery, with drinks, canapés, and music provided by the Idalia Quartet from the Royal Academy of Music.
The Annual Dinner, on Thursday 19 June, took place in the iconic Great Hall. Guests enjoyed the performance from a harpist from the Guildhall School of Music, followed by speeches and dancing.

BAOMS Journals: BJOMS and AdOMS
BJOMS: The Association continued to organise the publication of The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (“BJOMS”), which is the official publication of the Association, through the editorial team. Members are encouraged to submit articles on Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for publication in BJOMS. The Journal Editorial Board is managed by the Editor and the Honorary Treasurer and meets several times a year. The Editor prepares a report for each Council meeting and for the Annual General Meeting. BJOMS (10 issues per year) is currently published in conjunction with Elsevier on a five-year contract. Following a review and process carried out by the Editor and reported at a Council meeting the current publishers, Elsevier, were reappointed and a new five-year contract (2023 to 2027) was agreed and signed. Professor Panos Kyzas took over the role of Editor as planned on 1 January 2024 with a term of office (currently a five-year term).
Since 2020 and as one of the strategic aims of the Association, a second journal, “Advances in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery” (AdOMS) was launched. This is an open access journal dedicated to publishing research articles on all aspects of surgery in the oro-facial and head and neck region. The AdOMS continues to publish original research, review articles, editorials, technical notes and case reports thus helping to create access for Junior Trainees wishing to publish, whilst maintaining the impact factor for BJOMS.
Both BJOMS and the sister Journal AdOMS continue to function well. Professor Kyzas together with his deputy Mr Rabin Singh and the whole editorial team are to be congratulated for their delivery of both journals on behalf of BAOMS.
BAOMS Quality and Outcomes in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (QOMS) Project
Dr Fabien Puglia, QOMS Project Manager
Forty hospitals across England, Wales and Scotland have contributed to the various registries in QOMS. Overall, we have now collected over 19,000 patient episodes of treatment in REDCap across our audit workstreams. This would not be possible without all the data coordinators and surgeons participating to the project. Developments in 2025
-
We published in June 2025 our second report, which covers the whole first 3 years of data collection (2021-2024).
-
The QOMS Team secured external funding from charitable (SGC UK and the Head and Neck Oracle Foundation) and commercial (Stryker) sources. This money is being used to support 5 new hospitals to join the project.
Active registries in QOMS
The set of core audits has undergone some changes:
-
The TMJ workstream: TMJ Arthroscopy and TMJ replacement.
-
The Trauma workstream: Mandible fractures ad isolated orbital wall fractures
-
The Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer workstream - a new data collection period started in January 2026
-
The Oncology & Reconstruction workstream which on top of the surgical audit also includes the Restorative Dentistry / Oral Rehabilitation registry and the Patient-specific implant for mandible reconstruction registry
-
The Orthognathic Surgery workstream with the surgical audit and the BAOMS BOS Orthognathic PROM project
QOMS is also running two patient registries dedicated to salivary gland cancers and rare and benign lesions of the jaws.

Junior Trainees Group Annual Conference held 8 and 9 November 2025 in Liverpool
Ms Anna Davies, Chair of the Junior Trainees Group (JTG) 2025
The JTG have had a busy year, with this year seeing the development and launch of a new website, the first year of both the JTG Essay Prize and the JTG Supervisor of the Year award, as well as development of a new teaching programme aimed at those starting out in OMFS.
Our Annual Conference was held in the Hilton Hotel, Liverpool on the 8th and 9th November 2025. This year saw 136 delegates from across the UK travel to Liverpool for two-days of high-quality keynote sessions covering the breadth of OMFS, as well as hands on workshops and our AGM.
The conference provided an opportunity for delegates to engage with peers from various stages of (pre-speciality) training in a supportive environment. The conference aimed to develop delegates' knowledge and skills in OMFS, support their professional growth and inspire future surgeons through their exposure to the scope and potential of the speciality. This was all done whilst encouraging the formation of an approachable network between all stages present.
Organised by the JTG Committee, the conference was generously supported by BAOMS through a £5,000 contribution. The JTG is grateful for BAOMS’s ongoing annual support, which enabled the team to significantly reduce delegate costs and ensure the event remained accessible to all junior trainees.
For full details of the conference programme, please see the conference section of our website.
Our Gala Dinner was held on the 8th of November at the Hilton Hotel and comprised a three-course meal with DJ and photobooth. A charity raffle was held in aid of The Canmore Trust following a heartfelt and touching talk by one of our own Oral Medicine colleagues (and the charity founder) Professor John Gibson. We are so pleased to have been able to contribute to such an important and lifesaving cause.
During our prize ceremony, we also took the opportunity to award the inaugural JTG Supervisor of the Year award, with this being awarded to Miss Alexandra Thompson.
The JTG Committee would like to thank all BAOMS members who attended the conference and the consultants and registrars who graciously gave up their time to attend and support what was a fantastic weekend.
We would also like to thank BAOMS council for their continued support of the JTG conference, and of the JTG overall, which is growing in numbers year on year.

FlexFacs Achievements in 2025 and Transition to a Unified Educational Programme Overview
Mr Montey Garg, National Online Training Programme Director, OMFS
FlexFacs and the Postgraduate Virtual Learning Environment (PGVLE): Highlights from 2025 We are pleased to share an update on FlexFacs’ continued progress during 2025. Strengthening National OMFS Education
From December 2024 to November 2025, ten national webinars have been delivered through FlexFacs, each drawing an average of around 115 live attendees from across the training spectrum. Topics have included Facelift – Basics and Beyond , Minimally Invasive TMJ Procedures , Medical Negligence in Practice , Management of complications of Condylar Injuries , and other clinically relevant areas. Feedback has remained consistently excellent, with both organisation and educational value regularly rated between 4.5 and 4.9 out of 5. The second National OMFS Quiz Day, held in April 2025, has now become a well-established feature of the training year. Eighty-nine participants joined the live online assessment, completing 120 single best answer questions written by twelve trainers, covering the breadth of the OMFS curriculum.
We warmly congratulate this year’s top performers:
-
First place: Richard McLellan
-
Second place: James Edwin Crawford
-
Third place: Suzanne Westley
In recognition of their achievement, and to further encourage participation in future years, BAOMS will be providing Amazon vouchers of £150, £100 and £75 respectively. This small gesture is intended to support trainees in accessing educational materials and to acknowledge the considerable effort required to excel in a national competition of this type.
Innovative and Collaborative Learning
FlexFacs has continued to broaden its educational offering through interspecialty and MDT-style sessions, including a highly regarded Head and Neck Oncology Study Day in July and an Orthognathic MDT session in August. These events, which reflect the collaborative nature of contemporary practice, were particularly well received and noted for their practical relevance.

PGVLE: A Central Hub for Training
The PGVLE is an NHS England online learning platform designed to enhance surgical training nationwide by providing flexible, accessible, and comprehensive educational resources. Engagement from the Specialty Advisory Committee, Training Programme Directors, and regional trainers has been very encouraging. Any trainer who would like to use the platform is very welcome to get in touch so that access can be arranged.
The PGVLE now hosts over 70 recorded FlexFacs sessions, along with monthly newsletters and curated reading lists. The platform is maintained and further developed with the support of Ioanna Dimasi, National Online Training Fellow, who continues to play an important role in curating content and assisting trainees nationally. This combination of live teaching, preparatory material, and on-demand access continues to ensure that learning remains high-quality, equitable, and CPD-accredited.
Looking Ahead to 2026
FlexFacs will continue to evolve in the year ahead, with further interactive case-based webinars, ongoing crossspecialty collaboration, and the third National OMFS Quiz Day planned for April 2026. The programme remains a flagship for postgraduate surgical education and an exemplar of national cooperation within the specialty. We extend our sincere thanks to all speakers, trainees, trainers, and the wider BAOMS community for their continued support and engagement. Together, we are strengthening the future of OMFS education and fostering a culture of shared learning and professional excellence.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Results of Activities and Events
During 2025, the Association generated £895,085 (2024: £844,803) of income, and expended resources of £1,155,962 (2024: £1,028,234) principally disseminating information as it relates to any and all of the fields that pertain to the Association’s charitable objectives.
In particular, the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting resulted in a deficit of £3,191 (2024: surplus of £62,166) and the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery plus the Advances in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery contributed a surplus of £152,042 (2024: £150,535). A significant proportion of Journal income arose from paid electronic downloads of content – from around the globe, demonstrating the breadth of appeal of the material presented. Net investment gains in the year were £129,187 (2024: gains £71,605). Overall, there was a net decrease in funds of £131,690 (2024: decrease £111,826).
Grant Making
In 2025, grants totalling £113,523, (2024: £135,728) were allocated during the financial year to members of the Association for research projects and travel to centres of excellence overseas.
The Association continues to support bursaries for medical students completing their double degree as part of the relatively long training programme for the specialty. In 2025, £22,000 was awarded to twenty two individuals (2024: £33,500 was awarded to thirty six individuals).
Reserves Policy
When considering the need for free reserves the trustees are mindful that they must put in place a suitable foundation for the charity to achieve its long-term strategic goal, that being for the work of the Association to be continued in perpetuity. In addition, the trustees have identified the following areas in which expenditure will be required soon:
- 17 -
THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
In addition to the day-to-day work of the Association the following and on-going areas have been identified in 2025:
-
Up to £12,500 for the speakers’ educational fund to fund educational lectures at the Annual Meeting;
-
£100,000 for research and clinical / mini grants;
-
£15,000 to provide complimentary membership of the Association to students studying their second degree;
-
£10,000 to provide complimentary registration at the ASM for students studying for their first and second degrees;
-
£30,000 (up to £40,000) to provide student bursaries/support to students studying their second degree;
-
£15,000 to support the junior trainees programme, ASiT membership and recruitment;
-
£15,000 venue deposits for future meetings;
-
£10,000 for updates to the website on-going;
-
£5,000 for on-going hosting (£1,000 pcm), support and development of the website (Light Media) to continue to increase its educational and interactive capacity and to further widen communication with the membership;
-
£10,000 support costs for membership application system (Oomi);
-
£25,000 for the President’s Annual Fund;
-
£75,000 QOMS Project manager and audit registry.
Bearing this in mind the trustees consider that, in order to limit financial risk and based on current staffing levels, the level of free reserves should be equal to £500,000. This will allow the capacity to operate the work of the Association effectively in the event of unforeseen financial difficulties. It is expected that this would be sufficient to cover the operational costs of the Association for a period of nine months.
Financial Position
The total ‘unrestricted funds’ of the charity as at 31 December 2025 amounted to £1,098,289, of which £nil had been allocated to the Designated Research Fund (31 December 2024: £1,231,265 of which £398,980 had been allocated to the Designated Research Fund) and £nil (2024: £7,032) relates to the remaining net book value of fixed assets, and therefore do not form part of the free reserves. The free reserves of the charity as of 31 December 2025 therefore amounted to £1,098,289 (2024: £825,253), and include a £398,980 transfer from the designated research fund. The Trustees made the decision during the year ended 31 December 2024 to release designated funds that were held surplus to requirements, and so £398,980 was transferred from the Designated Research Fund to the General Fund. Free reserves are therefore in line with the reserves policy.
In 2024, the Charity About Face transferred funds to BAOMS to be managed as a restricted grant named “Ilankovan About Face Grant", in such amount(s) to be decided by the Endowment sub-committee of BAOMS, to be awarded to Fellows/ Members of BAOMS in order to support Head & Neck Cancer research projects, subject to suitable applications being received. Although the funds were transferred and received by BAOMS in 2024, they met the criteria for income recognition in 2023 and as such were accrued at 31 December 2023.
Investments Policy
The trustees have wide ranging powers to invest the funds of the Association as they see fit, and in practice, they receive advice from the Association’s investment managers on appropriate investments. The Association’s investment portfolio is now managed by Cazenove Capital Management wealth management from Schroders.
BAOMS uses a Responsible Multi-Asset Fund which has no direct exposure to Russia through any of its investments.
- 18 -
THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Alongside its financial aims, the Fund has an explicit responsible investment policy, screening out areas of concern to many charities, integrating environmental, social and governance analysis as a fundamental part of its equity selection process and promoting best practice through active engagement. The managers invest to avoid harm, benefit society through responsible business activities and contribute to solutions through investing for impact. The investment managers will also use their influence to push for progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
Whilst there is no specific screen within the mandate to exclude Russian investments, given the fund’s overall aims, no Russian stocks were deemed appropriate for the strategy and in-line with the Responsible policy.
Investment Strategy
The investment objective is to be achieved by investment in a balanced portfolio, which can include equities, fixed interest securities and cash, with a medium risk profile. Exposure to hedge funds, structured investments and property funds will also be permissible. Trustees have taken advice and rely on an approach to provide real returns on funds , but avoiding High Risk / High Yield (Casino) patterns of investment, in line with responsible charitable organisation strategy.
Review
In order to monitor progress of the performance of the Association’s investments against this policy Cazenove Capital Management wealth management from Schroders provides valuation reports six monthly on 30 June and 31 December. Figures showing the capital performance and a range of indices including the APCIMS Balanced Index are included within these valuation reports.
The trustees will periodically consider whether there is a need to revise the Investment Strategy.
In 2025, the portfolio decreased in value by 4% to £1,550,242, (2024: increased 16% to £1,615,085). The income being generated by the investments decreased by 30% to £59,458,(2024: 17% to £85,337) and is derived from a combination of exposure to high yielding equities as well as the fixed interest area of the market.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

e-FACE Update
Mr Montey Garg - eFace Lead BAOMS
The e-FACE programme, developed by BAOMS in partnership with NHS England’s eLearning for Healthcare, continues to support junior colleagues working in OMFS departments, particularly those in Dental Core Training, for whom the original modules were designed.
Work has been progressing on the first phase of the current refresh. This will introduce modest updates to the existing DCT-aligned sessions to ensure they remain current and user-friendly. These revisions are not extensive, but they will help maintain the relevance of the resource for colleagues beginning their OMFS training.
Planning has also begun for the second phase, which aims to expand e-FACE with 22 additional modules written by senior trainers from across the specialty. This development will take time, and we are approaching it steadily to ensure the new content is of high quality and genuinely useful to the wider OMFS community.
Separately, NHS England’s Technology Enhanced Learning team has confirmed that all elfh eLearning programmes, including e-FACE, will gradually move to the national Learning Hub over the coming months. Learners will be advised to complete any sessions already in progress on the current elfh platform, as progress will not transfer once a programme relocates. We will receive advance notice—around two weeks—before e- FACE is scheduled to move, and further information will be shared at that point. Until then, colleagues may continue to access the existing e-FACE modules on the elfh Hub as usual.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, and statements of cash flows, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the financial statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
- 21 -
THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report which is also the directors’ report for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ report, which is also the directors’ report for the purposes of company law, has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements, being the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, health and safety legislation, the data protection act, and the reporting framework as detailed within the accounting policies;
-
We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the accounts.
-
We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of representatives of management and the review of minutes of Trustee meetings.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
Making enquiries of where management considers there was susceptibility to fraud and knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
Tested and reviewed journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
Tested the authorisation of expenditure;
-
Gained an understanding of the processes in place for the management of the charity’s investments and confirmed the validity of withdrawals from investments; and
-
Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
- 23 -
THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
Review of the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
Agreeing accounts disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.
As a result of our procedures, we did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of this report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are laid out below.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared for the year to 31 December 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees and management to make significant judgements and estimates.
The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
-
estimating the liability for multi-year grant commitments.
-
estimating the useful economic life of fixed assets; and
-
estimating the BJOMS profit share based on 67.5% of profit (after expenditure) as per contract.
Assessment of going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. The trustees of the charity have concluded that, there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.
The Association will be running a number of events in 2026. The Association anticipates fair levels of cash in 2026.
The Trustees have reviewed the risks posed to the charity and concluded that the charity is in a strong financial and operational position and can continue to support beneficiaries now and for the foreseeable future. However, they will be reviewing the finances in 2026 with a view to reducing some areas of expenditure thus avoiding regular withdrawal of investment capital.
Therefore the Trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
With regard to the next accounting period, the year ending 31 December 2026, the most significant areas that affect the carrying value of the assets held by the charity are the level of investment return and the performance of the investment markets.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Income recognition
Income is recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income, the amount of income can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.
Donations are recognised when the charity has confirmation of both the amount and settlement date. In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amount is accrued for where the receipt is considered probable. Credit is taken in the statement of financial activities for the proportion of subscriptions which are receivable in the financial year. All other similar types of income are accounted for on an accruals basis. In accordance with the Charities SORP FRS 102 volunteer time is not recognised.
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification of the dividend has been received. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure comprises direct costs and support costs. All expenses, including support costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. The classification between activities is as follows:
Grants payable are included in the statement of financial activities when approved and when the intended recipient has either received the funds or been informed of the decision to make the grant and has satisfied all performance conditions. Grants approved but not paid at the end of the financial year are accrued. Grants where the beneficiary has not been informed or has to fulfil performance conditions before the grant is released are not accrued for. Irrecoverable VAT is included within support costs and allocated as detailed below.
-
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure associated with raising funds for the charity. This includes investment management fees.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs associated with furthering the charitable purposes of the charity through the provision of its charitable activities. Such costs include grants, direct and support costs including governance costs.
Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure. In order to carry out the primary purposes of the charity it is necessary to provide support in the form of personnel development, financial procedures, provision of office services and equipment and a suitable working environment.
Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the charity including audit costs) and costs in respect to its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs including staff costs and governance costs are apportioned based on the proportion used by the activity.
Intangible fixed assets
All assets costing more than £5,000 and with an expected useful life exceeding one year are capitalised. Amortisation is provided over a period of 5 years, based on the estimated useful life of the asset, on a straight-line basis.
Tangible fixed assets
All assets costing more than £5,000 and with an expected useful life exceeding one year are capitalised.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Furniture and equipment
Expenditure on the purchase and replacement of furniture and equipment is capitalised and depreciated over a 4– 10-year period, based on the estimated useful life of the asset, on a straight-line basis.
Fixed asset investments
Listed investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
Realised gains (or losses) on investment assets are calculated as the difference between disposal proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value at that date. Realised and unrealised investment gains (or losses) are combined in the statement of financial activities and are credited (or debited) in the year in which they arise.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt.
Operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Pension costs
The charitable company participates in a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme known as Superannuation Arrangements of the University of London (''SAUL''). The scheme is contracted out of the State Earnings-Related Pension Scheme and is a centralised scheme for certain employees with the assets held in separate trustee-administered funds. The charitable company is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme.
The amount charged to the statement of financial activities in respect of pension costs is the total contributions payable for the year.
Fund Structure
The general fund comprises the accumulated surpluses of unrestricted income over expenditure, which are available for use in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company.
Designated funds are a particular form of unrestricted funds consisting of amounts, which have been allocated or designated for specific purposes by the trustees. The use of designated funds remains at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions imposed by donors. The purpose and use of the funds are set out in the notes to the accounts. Amounts unspent at the year-end are carried forward in the balance sheet.

21. PENSION SCHEME
The Association participates in the Superannuation Arrangements of the University of London (“SAUL”), which is a centralised defined benefit scheme within the United Kingdom and was contracted out of the Second State Pension (prior to April 2016).
SAUL is an independently managed pension scheme for the non-academic staff of over 50 colleges and institutions with links to higher education.
Pension benefits accrued within SAUL currently build up on a Career Average Revalued Earnings (“CARE”) basis.
The Association is not expected to be liable to SAUL for any other current participating employer’s obligations under the Rules of SAUL, but in the event of an insolvency of any participating employer within SAUL, an amount of any pension shortfall (which cannot otherwise be recovered) in respect of that employer, may be spread across the remaining participating employers and reflected in the next actuarial valuation.
Funding Policy
SAUL’s statutory funding objective is to have sufficient and appropriate assets to meet the costs incurred by the Trustee in paying SAUL’s benefits as they fall due (the “Technical Provisions”). The Trustee adopts assumptions which, taken as a whole, are intended to be sufficiently prudent for pensions and benefits already in payment to continue to be paid and for the commitments which arise from Members’ accrued pension rights to be met.
- 41 -
THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Technical Provisions assumptions include appropriate margins to allow for the possibility of events turning out worse than expected. However, the funding method and assumptions do not completely remove the risk that the Technical Provisions could be insufficient to provide benefits in the future.
A formal actuarial valuation of SAUL is carried out every three years by a professionally qualified and independent actuary. The last actuarial valuation was carried out with an effective date of 31 March 2023. Informal reviews of SAUL’s position, reflecting changes in market conditions, cash flow information and new accrual of benefits, are carried out between formal valuations.
The funding principles were agreed by the Trustee and employers in June 2021 and will be reviewed again at SAUL’s next formal valuation in 2026.
At the 31 March 2023 valuation SAUL was 105% funded on its Technical Provisions basis. The cost of accrual was 19.3% versus member and employer contributions of 27%, the difference being known as the contribution buffer.
The Trustee, Employers and SAUL negotiating committee also agreed to a package of measures to reduce the contribution buffer, with Employers decreasing their contributions from 21% to 19% on 1 September 2024, and to increase the annual cap on CPI pension increases in payment for future accrual from 2.5% to 5% from April 2025. As a result of these changes the contribution buffer will reduce to 3.7% of Salaries when these changes have taken effect.
Employer pension contributions charged to the statement of financial activities during the year amounted to £22,296, (2024: £22,815).
Accounting Policy
The Association is a Participating Employer in SAUL. The actuarial valuation applies to SAUL as a whole and does not identify surpluses or deficits applicable to individual employers. As a whole, the market value of SAUL’s assets at 31 March 2023 was £3,096 million representing 105% of the liabilities. The market value of SAUL’s assets at 31 March 2023 was £3,072 million representing 109% of the estimated liabilities.
It is not possible to identify an individual Employer’s share of the underlying assets and liabilities of SAUL. The Association accounts for its participation in SAUL as if it were a defined contribution scheme and pension costs based on the amounts actually paid (i.e. cash amounts) in accordance with paragraphs 28.11 of FRS 102.
The valuation as at 31 March 2023 noted a Technical Provisions surplus. Therefore, no deficit contributions were required following the 2023 valuation and there is no defined benefit liability (i.e. the present value of any deficit contributions due to SAUL) to be recognised by the Association.
