DDA Annual Conference

Aiming for excellence

The DDA is delighted to again be holding its annual conference alongside the 2020 Best Practice and Best Practice in Nursing conferences and exhibition.

Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on October 14-15, the theme of the 2020 DDA Annual Conference is ‘Dispensing - Aiming for Excellence’.

Leading speakers will be carefully hand-picked to provide dispensing practice GPs, managers and dispensers with all the practical tips and hints they need to meet the increasing demands and quality standards of their patients and the modern NHS.

This year, DDA Board Members expect to welcome hundreds of  visitors to our conference making the DDA Annual Conference the premier networking event for dispensing practice staff, as well as the go-to event for expert advice, inspiration and support in all dispensing practice matters.

We have reserved 400 education bursaries for members and dispensing staff to attend Best Practice and Best Practice in Nursing free of charge. You can now register for your complimentary pass at www.bestpracticeshow.co.uk/DDA

  • This is the fourth year I have come to Best Practice. This year it has been particularly useful for me because I will soon be taking over from our practice manager who is retiring so I have been picking up a lot of useful information about HR and dispensing. The DDA theatre has been particularly informative.
    Louise Smith
    Practice Manager, Yoxall Practice
  • I have found the exhibition very useful this year because my practice is about to undergo a significant premises expansion and we need a lot of new equipment. I have particularly enjoyed the DDA talks this year and networking with all the other members of the primary care team who visit this event.
