NATIONAL DENTAL
NURSING CONFERENCE
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
As with all members of the dental
team, remaining completely
up-to-date with the latest
regulations, requirements and
protocols is imperative to your
work as a dental nurse.
This conference will cover all areas
governing your everyday practice, as
well as looking at ways in which to
streamline your routines and help you
work as efficiently as possible. Sessions
in this conference programme will also
explore the various ways of developing
your clinical skills and advancing in your
career, with speakers sharing their own
personal journeys and experiences.
The British Association of Dental Nurses
(BADN) is the UK’s only recognised
professional association for dental nurses.
It is only with the continuing support of Dental Nurses
through membership of the Association that we
can continue to support Dental Nurses themselves,
negotiate on their behalf and represent the interests of
Dental Nurses at all levels. BADN Council is made up
of dental nurses elected by the members, so we know
what challenges dental nurses are facing, what dental
nurses are interested in, what dental nurses want!
We look forward to seeing members and non-members
alike at Dentistry Show this year, please come and say
hello to us on the Professional Hub.
