BADN remains open

However, BADN is asking dental nurses to email, rather than telephone, with any queries. BADN President Jacqui Elsden said: 'We would ask that any dental nurses wishing to contact BADN do so via our dedicated email address, enquiries@badn.org.uk, as this will assist us in streamlining our office procedures to enable us to provide speedier responses. Our office remains open, with staff observing necessary hygiene protocols; should the situation change, staff can – due to our investment in technology – continue to work from home if required without a change in service levels to members.

'With regard to our 80^th Anniversary Afternoon Tea, we are currently discussing the situation with the hotel concerned, and the organisers of The Dentistry Show. If the Tea is postponed, we will make an announcement and contact those who had indicated they wished to attend.
