  • BDA CPD Hub

    As part of our new membership scheme, we are excited to announce our new CPD Hub, exclusive to BDA members. Launching in June 2013, the CPD Hub will have three essential features to help you stay up-to-date.

  • Direct access to DCPs

    On 28 March 2013 the General Dental Council (GDC) agreed to lift the restriction on dental hygienists and dental therapists to see patients on prescription from a dentist only. The policy decision will be in place from 1 May 2013, although other barriers still exist for full direct access to take place at this time.

  • Hot topics

    Right now, we're involved in a range of conversations, consultations and evidence-giving exercises. NEW! Hot Topic Update on amalgam in dentistry.

  • Government Reforms of NHS Pensions

    The new Pensions section provides you with all the information you need on the following: NHS pension scheme (and the Hutton review of public sector pensions), universities superannuation scheme, stakeholder pensions, armed forces pensions, and workplace pensions scheme (October 2012).

  • Dental contract pilots background

    70 NHS practices in England are in a pilot working under a full capitation scheme with payments for quality and clinical outcomes.

  • Public health

    The BDA and its Dental Public Health Committee continues to work with Public Health England (PHE) on issues affecting the transfer of the dental public health workforce to its new employer.
