The British Association of Dental Nurses is the UK’s only recognised professional association for dental nurses. All dental nurses may join BADN, whether or not they are qualified, no matter where they work, and regardless of age, gender or race.
BADN is run by a Council of elected dental nurses, all of whom give up their free time to support dental nurses and the dental nursing profession. Council is composed of a Chairman, President, Immediate Past President (or President-elect) and Finance Officer; the Regional Coordinators; the Chairmen of the National Groups; the Chairman of the Health & Safety Advisory Committee and seconded members for specialist subjects.
The day to day administration is carried out by the Association’s own staff at the headquarters in Fleetwood.
BADN represents the interests of dental nurses at all levels with all appropriate organisations – the General Dental Council , for example, the Department of Health and other DCP associations.
In addition, BADN organises the National Dental Nursing Conference, which is open to all members of the dental team, not just BADN members. The 2010 Conference will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Blackpool on 26-27 November 2010 - more details will be available on our Conference page soon. Photos from the 2009 BADN Annual Dental Nursing Conference can be found on our Conferencepage
New Benefits for BADN Members!
BADN, through its benefit scheme "BADN Benefits" has organised some great offers for its members.

Full membership includes indemnity cover (subject to approval) as required by the GDC for registered dental nurses.
