CallEEAST sponsor the National District Nurses Conference hosted by NPAG

Erin Guyton • December 6, 2023

On Tuesday 28th November 2023, the National Performance Advisory Group (NPAG) hosted the National District Nurses Conference at the Northampton Town Centre Hotel. This is an annual conference organised and delivered by NPAG which invites District Nurses from across the UK to come together to network, learn best practices and meet relevant suppliers. NPAG are one of the other Commercial Services at the East of England Ambulance Service alongside CallEEAST.


The NPAG team meticulously planned each aspect of the event to ensure the day ran smoothly and offered a variety of presentations and exhibitors. There were 84 delegates, 12 exhibitors, and 8 speakers presenting on an array of topics.


Topics included:

  • The History of the QNI
  • Creating Capacity to Care
  • Innovation in NHS Community Nursing
  • Historical Review of Public Health within Liverpool
  • Getting around the District: An Illustrated History
  • District Nurses – celebrating the present, exploring future focused
  • QNI Update
  • Digital Prescribing for Community Teams


CallEEAST were thrilled to attend the conference through sponsoring and exhibiting. This was a great opportunity for two of our Commercial Services to come together and show a wider audience the services we offer at the East of England Ambulance Service. CallEEAST were delighted to meet many District Nurses who weren’t aware of their services, and it was a great opportunity to present how CallEEAST’s services could support District Nurses across the UK. CallEEAST already work with Birmingham Community Healthcare, covering calls for 54 District Nurses.


Damon Pritchard, CallEEAST Contact Centre Manager, said, “Thank you. It was one of the most constructive events we’ve been to since we started! It was expertly organised as well – well done – I was really impressed.”


Overall, this was an excellent event! The NPAG team delivered every aspect of the conference perfectly, ensuring everybody was comfortable throughout the day. CallEEAST also found the conference to be extremely beneficial and have come away with new contacts who are interested in their services.

As someone who is now over the magical 50 I spent a lot of my life NOT talking about things like health (and especially Mental Health) - I'm from a generation where we just got on with things and men bottled things up and just got on with it.
