The ‘National Pregnancy and Baby Loss People Policy Framework’ is aimed at providing support for the people affected. The policy “includes but is not limited to, up to 10 days paid leave for the mother (or parent who was pregnant), and up to five days paid leave for the partner, in the cases of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, and termination of pregnancy.”
The BDA said it strongly welcomes the framework. However, the policy does not apply to dental professionals.
In the letter, it argues that it is vital dental professionals “are given the same support as other NHS staff through such deeply challenging personal circumstances.”
