BADN has good provision for its dental nurses

BADN provides goòd up to date knowledge that helps me keep abreast of latest developments. They also provide interesting and relevant CPD. The technical aspects of the CPD portal needs updating because the material is not easy to see.

Ii was not happy that even though I updated my new address on my profile, my new membership went to my old address.

Dear Gloria,

Thank you for your insightful feedback. It's great to see that the CPD offered to our members is relevant to dental nurses needs.

Regarding the update of the address, we would remind that the membership address update and the CPD portal are managed seperately by two different organisations. While one is updated, the other must also be updated by a member manually. I hope this provides a helpful explanation.

All the best,
The BADN Team.
