Our Mission

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 and 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.

Get covered

with our Indemnity Scheme

We understand how important it is to protect yourself and your dental nursing career. More importantly, we are aware of the financial burden dental nurses face. We've teamed up with an award-winning insurance broker, to help offer you an optional professional indemnity cover.

The professional indemnity scheme* is available exclusively to members of the BADN only. Join BADN and take advantage of our Indemnity Scheme to protect your future.

*Indemnity Scheme is an optional feature - not included in the price of BADN membership. Additional costs will apply. Available only to Full-Time, Part-Time and Maternity membership. Subject to Terms & Conditions.
