The British Dental Industry Association (BDIA) has partnered with the British Association of Dental Nurses (BADN) to work more closely together and better support the dental sector.

Both organisations share a common goal: to support the people and businesses that keep dentistry moving forward, while maintaining high standards of patient care. By working together, the BDIA and BADN can offer greater support, share knowledge, and create new opportunities for their members.

Why this partnership makes sense

• Bringing the industry closer together: This partnership connects dental suppliers with dental nurses, helping both sides better understand each other and work more effectively together.
• Supporting learning and development: The BDIA and the BADN will work together to provide useful updates, training, and insights to help dental nurses stay up to date with the latest products and best practices; and to help suppliers understand and appreciate the important role of the dental nurse in the dental team.
• Stronger voice for the profession: By working together, both organisations can speak more clearly on the issues that matter and help represent the needs of the dental community.
• More support for members: Members will benefit from access to more resources, ideas, and opportunities through this collaboration.

“We’re really pleased to be working with the BADN. Dental nurses are at the heart of patient care, and this partnership helps us build a stronger connection between the industry and the people using the products every day. Together, we can offer more support and share valuable knowledge.” — Edmund Proffitt, Chief Executive, British Dental Industry Association

“This is a great opportunity for dental nurses. Working with BDIA means our members can feel more connected to what’s happening across the industry and better supported in their roles. We’re excited about what we can achieve together.” — Carolyn Roberts RDN,  President-elect,  British Association of Dental Nurses

Over the coming months, BDIA and BADN will introduce joint activities, events, and updates to bring this partnership to life and deliver real benefits to members.
