Central Committee for Hospital Dental Services

Your Central Committee for Hospital Dental Services (CCHDS) actively represents all hospital dentists across the UK - from trainees to consultants to SAS grade dentists. The CCHDS works closely with the BMA on pay negotiations, contract discussions, and strategic planning to ensure your voice is heard at the highest levels.

Northern Ireland Hospital Dental Forum

The Northern Ireland Hospital Dental Services Forum (NI HDS Forum) represents hospital dentists and considers policy issues affecting the profession. It provides a vital link between hospital dental staff and BMA NI, who negotiate terms and conditions of service, and offers a space to discuss key local issues.

Scottish Hospital Dental Reference Group

The Scottish Hospital Dentists Reference Group (SHDRG) maintains communication between hospital dental staff and those responsible for negotiating their terms and conditions. Meeting three times a year, the group ensures regular opportunities to raise and address issues affecting hospital dentists in Scotland.
