Enter the Aura Infection Control IPC Team of the Year Award

 

Practices across the UK now have the opportunity to be recognised for their commitment to high standards in infection prevention and control through the Aura IPC Team of the Year Award.

The award is open to both independent and corporate dental practices, with two first-place winners selected: one from an independent practice and one from a corporate practice.

BADN is proud to support this initiative, which celebrates dental teams who go above and beyond in their daily infection prevention and control routines.

The winning teams will receive an impressive prize package, including an NSK iClave 24 (24L) or iClave Plus (18L) Autoclave, worth up to £8,000. Winners will also receive a Compliance Club Gold Subscription, a place on the ILM Dental Decontamination Leadership Programme, and a one-year Full BADN Membership for a member of their team.

As part of the first-place prize package, one member of each winning team will receive a one-year Full BADN Membership, giving them access to a wide range of professional benefits designed to support dental nurses throughout their career.

BADN membership includes access to the online digital British Dental Nurses’ Journal with free CPD, the BADN CPD Portal, online Coffee Catch-Ups with free CPD, downloadable CPD Activity Log and PDP templates, the BADN Legal Helpline, BADN Job Board, BADN app, EduPortal course discounts, Advice Sheets and Policies, the members-only area of the BADN website, and BADN Rewards, offering a wide range of discounts and special offers.

Second and third place runners-up will also receive prizes, including a Compliance Club Plus Subscription, an NSK iCare Handpiece Lubrication Unit, and a trophy and certificate of achievement.

The award is designed to celebrate teams with strong decontamination processes, excellent team communication, and a clear commitment to compliance and patient safety.

Entry is completely free and only takes a few minutes to complete.

All practices that enter, regardless of the final result, will receive a certificate to display in the practice, as well as a 10% discount on Aura’s ILM Dental Decontamination Programme.

Practices must register before 18 September 2026.
