The British Association of Dental Nurses

Established in 1940, The British Association of Dental Nurses (BADN) is the most recognised not-for-profit professional association for all dental nurses across the United Kingdom. We're not here for the money, we're here for you. BADN Council is made up of dental nurses elected by the members, so we understand exactly what challenges dental nurses are facing, what dental nurses are interested in and, what dental nurses want. This allows us to tailor our services to the specific needs of a dental nurse, provided through our annual 'value-for-money' memberships, which include benefits, such as: - CPD - British Dental Nurses' Journal - Indemnity at preferential premium rates (exclusive to our members only) - Support & guidance - Training & development opportunities - Discounted dentistry events and conferences - BADN Rewards with access to hundres savings and discounts nationwide - Latest news & updates - Legal Helpline and more. Our aim is to support dental nurses throughout their professional and personal journey and our mission is simple: "To empower dental nurses to advocate and advance the role of dental nursing through a platform of lifelong learning in order to enable a level of competently applied knowledge, skills attitudes and behaviours related to the progression from novice to expert practice, that underpin the evolving demands of current and future oral healthcare for the UK population."
