British Dental Association 1 article

British Dental Association is the professional association and trade union representing dentists across the United Kingdom. It provides member advice, employment and practice support, professional education, publications and advocacy on issues such as NHS dentistry, workforce policy and working conditions. The BDA represents the profession but does not regulate who may practise dentistry; statutory registration, standards and fitness-to-practise functions sit with the General Dental Council, which gives the two organizations different responsibilities.
