BDA and BDIA announce new ‘Strategic Partnership’

The British Dental Association (BDA) and the British Dental Industry Association (BDIA) are delighted to announce that they have agreed a new ‘Strategic Partnership’ allowing both organisations to work more closely over the coming months and years. 

BDA Chief Executive, Peter Ward, commented, “This exciting new Strategic Partnership will benefit the whole Dental Community and will provide a higher level of engagement, from manufacturers and trade companies, right through to the Dentists and their teams.”

The aim of this Partnership will be to;

• Bring both Associations closer together in the eyes of the whole dental sector,
• Deliver better value to the sector through a change of culture and a closer working relationship between the BDA and BDIA,
• Provide value for members and the wider industry wherever it is possible to do so.

The Partnership recognises the strong identities and individual nature of each Association, whilst effectively looking to deliver a comprehensive business solution for the profession and the industry through activities such as both the BDA’s British Dental Conference and Exhibition in the spring and BDIA Dental Showcase in the autumn of each year. 

Tony Reed, BDIA Executive Director, added, “By working in partnership we believe than we can create better value for the members of both Associations. Our two major dental events can together provide all that practices need to maintain an up to date understanding of developments in materials, equipment and techniques and a solution to their educational requirements in terms of clinical and business needs”. 

By working in partnership both Associations believe that better value for their members can be achieved.
