You always know where it is, but you only seem to need it when it rains.’ You know your association is here for professional and peer support, advocacy, networking, practice accreditation and for your all-important insurance, but what are some of the other benefits available to members?
The ADAWA New Practitioner Program is another way for recent graduates to tick off some CPD points via interesting study clubs held throughout the year, in a supportive setting that allows for valuable networking.
Let’s not forget the high-quality CPD opportunities from the ADA Federal Branch, available to members, including the Digital Media Library, allowing access to free audio and video content that count towards CPD points.

The most-important service offered by ADAWA is also, perhaps, the less well-known. In fact, it’s a service that is only needed when the storm clouds roll in.

We’re here for each and every one of our members, at every stage of their career – and beyond.
