BADN - Great association for Dental Nurses
Great association that supports and assists dental nurses all over the UK. They provide an online Coffee meeting with various guest speakers which has been so helpful and informative.
Topics discussed ‘Indemnity Insurance for Dental Nurses’. I learnt the pitfalls of not having enough cover eg Basic/Extended duties.
Reminded it’s the dental nurses responsibility as per the GDC guidelines not the employer to be covered should an enquiry/claim occur.
Recommended that each dental nurse should hold a copy of the indemnity insurance, past and present, in their CPD file as proof and reference should a retrospective enquiry/claim occur in the future.
All this helpful guidance and you receive CPD points for attending online.
So glad I joined when I saw their stand at the Dentistry Show.
Would definitely recommend BADN.

Hi Susan,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear how helpful you've found our support and the online Coffee Catch-up meetings. It's great to know the session on Indemnity Insurance was informative and gave you some valuable takeaways. You're absolutely right—having the right cover is so important, and we’re glad we could help clarify that for you. It’s fantastic that you’re making the most of the CPD opportunities too!
