Nursing association supports menopause awareness

1 min read Workplace issues/your health Communication
The British Association of Dental Nurses (BADN), the UK’s professional association for dental nurses, welcomes the statement issued by Dental Protection today that “Female dentists and dental care professionals (DCPs) should be well supported through the menopause and perimenopause to ensure we retain passionate and skilled clinicians in the workforce for as long as possible.”

BADN has recently published its Menopause Guide and Policy for dental practices to adopt in support of menopausal employees. This BADN Policy has been endorsed by the British Association of Dental Therapists (BADT), the British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy (BSDHT), the British Dental Industry Association (BDIA), the College of General Dentistry (CGDent), the Dental Laboratories’ Association (DLA), the Dental Technologists’ Association (DTA), the Orthodontic National Group (ONG) and the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA). The BADN Menopause Policy document is available on the BADN website.

BADN members also have access to the Health and Wellbeing Hub (which includes a support/counselling helpline) in the members-only area of the BADN website www.badn.org.uk.
