Best Practice and Best Practice in Nursing 

Best Practice is Europe’s largest annual conference and exhibition for grassroots general practice and the wider primary care community, attracting more than 5,500 delegates over two days for training, knowledge sharing, networking and peer support. This year’s event, incorporating the National Association of Primary Care’s Annual Conference and the DDA's Annual Conference, is taking place at the Birmingham NEC on 17 and 18 October. The lively conference programme enables attendees to enhance their clinical and practice management skills and promotes the spread of ideas and innovations that will improve care and outcomes for patients and increase efficiency.

 

The two events offer a stimulating conference programme and hands on training delivered by healthcare leaders, policymakers and strategists and most importantly - those who are battling to make a difference on the frontline of general practice. The Keynote Theatre, chaired by TV presenter John Stapleton, will stage lively discussion and debate on challenges facing general practice; share national policy updates, update you on ground-breaking work and showcase successful examples of general practice and primary care transformation from across the UK and beyond...

Incorporating the National Association of Primary Care’s Annual Conference

napc

Best Practice incorporates The National Association of Primary Care (NAPC) Conference. The NAPC defines effective primary care as: a citizen’s first point of contact with the health and social care system; a person-centred (holistic) approach, rather than disease focused, to continuous lifetime care; a comprehensive set of services delivered by multi-professional teams with a focus on population health needs; the coordination and integration of care in partnership with patients and providers.

Hosting the DDA's annual conference

 DDA

The Dispensing Doctors’ Association (DDA) 2018 annual conference will once again be part of Best Practice 2018 and will bring hundreds of dispensing GPs together with their non-dispensing counterparts. In unprecedented numbers dispensing GPs from all over the country come together to discuss the challenges of today and the future.

The DDA conference will return for it's fifth year of partnership with the Best Practice event.

What they said

  • "The conference programme has been great at bringing me up to date with the new revalidation reforms. It was also an absolutely brilliant exhibition, with so many stalls! I’ve also managed to get in lots of networking with other nurses which is great."
    Joice Skeeter
    Practice Nurse
  • ‘Best Practice is great because it is about the future of primary care. It has also been interesting to hear about the primary care home and how we can all work together – that is definitely a good way to go forward. I have picked up lots of ideas to take back for how we can make changes. There is a lot of negativity out there but I have been getting a lot of positive messages from Best Practice and that is good to hear. In general practice it is easy to stay stuck in your own practice or your own locality and just worry about what’s going on with you personally. It’s good to get out to a conference like this to find out what is going on in other places and to get an insight into the bigger picture.’
    Dr Shaun Pike
    Chair Worcestershire LMC and GP principal
  • ‘Best Practice provides the opportunity to expand your skills and knowledge because of the range and scope of talks and exhibitors that are here. For me the most important thing is that people here are talking about the importance of needing to do something different. There is recognition that we can’t continue to do what we’ve always done. You can’t learn these things looking through journals or scanning the Internet. It’s great to be at Best Practice and hear it straight from the horse’s mouth"
    Philippa Hunt
    Head of Leadership and Workforce Redesign, NHS England
  • ‘I come to Best Practice every year because it’s a really useful forum to find out what’s happening and what is current. As a commissioner it is really good to be able to lean what is happening around the country and to be able to see the national picture and to take that learning back. I’ve been hearing a lot of great new things about the primary care home, about neighbourhoods and how different areas are using their workforce. I’ve also been to some really good clinical talks around health improvement, which is a big topic for us in Bolton.’
    Lynda Helsby
    Associate Director Primary Care and Health Improvement, NHS Bolton CCG
  • ‘This is my first time at Best Practice and I have come because my colleagues told me it was fab. It is an opportunity to get your head above the parapet. The variety of lectures give you an overview of what’s happening nationally in primary care and how we can adapt best to all the changes that are happening and stay ahead of the game.’
    Dr Gareth Edwards
    GP Managing Partner
