The Dental Professionals Association (DPA)

The Dentistry Show, held at Birmingham’s NEC on 4th and 5th March 2011, is delighted to announce that the Dental Professional Association (DPA) will be supporting next year’s event.

The Dentistry Show, organised by Closerstill Media Healthcare Ltd, was launched in 2007 and is now the UKs fastest growing Dentistry Exhibition and Conference.  Attracting near to 3,000 delegates and over 200 delegates in its fourth year, the show attributes its success to the conference programme delivering first class certifiable content with leading speakers from around the world.

The DPA was established in 1954 as a dentists’ organisation to support, represent and improve primary dental care and oral general health in the UK. Since 2009, membership has been open to any dental care professional, including dentists, nurses, hygienists and the dental trade. Membership, which has a strong bias towards practice owners, reflects the makeup of the profession nationally.

For the first time, the Dental Professionals Association will be exhibiting at The Dentistry Show. CEO Derek Watson BDA said “As the only association that is open to the entire dental team, we look forward to meeting the wide range of visitors who attend, in addition to our existing members.”

“We are thrilled to be working with the DPA” says Ian Reynolds, Dentistry Show Manager. “They provide one to one advice and support for all everyone with an interest in primary dental care - so I know their attendance will be of great benefit to the delegates and the increase in visitor numbers generated through their AGM a the show will be of great interest to our exhibitors too”.

2011 will see five clinical lecture streams running throughout the show, with speakers each rotating between the theatres located on the exhibition floor. The very popular ‘Live Theatre’ will be running again where procedures including Implant Surgery, Whitening and Botulinum Toxin will be performed.

The Dentistry Show is an event that seamlessly blends clinical and commercial insight to support and equip practice owners, partners, dentists, managers, nurses, hygienists, therapist and administrators for the challenges ahead.
