Excellent and prompt response to a query I had over my annual leave allocation, and also for my colleague who had quite a complex annual leave challenge, having increased her hours over the year. Joanne Whistler replied promptly and demonstrated in such a clear and concise way to ensure future problems could also be resolved hopefully in-house. I would certainly recommend this employment relations team.

My BDA Experience
Having joined the BDA purely as an education / information source , it was their HR and pensions departments which I became so thankful for. Unfortunately I suffered a traumatic neck injury .This combined with being unable to work and having an unsupportive boss left me feeling that I was ‘losing the plot’. These guys combined their legal knowledge and language skills to guide me through to completion of my retirement.

Stronger together value for money
The BDA, apart from being the recognised professional body for dentistry in the UK, is the most influential body to support in seeking best possible arrangements for oral healthcare provision nationally. The BDA offers excellent value for money, especially when members take full advantage of the many, different member benefits.

From the office in London right out to the tiniest branches and sections you’ll find support from those of a similar mindset. Templates and advice are great and the BDJ is a fab way of keeping up with your CPD

For all your professional and trade union support join the BDA.
I have been a member of the BDA since student days. During that time I have had professional support and advice when needed. There has always been a Section or Branch meeting to attend wherever I have lived and that has been fantastic, both socially and educationally.
We need the BDA to support us professionally and as trade union - I have no hesitation in saying "join today"!

Generally good
Generally good, but it’s a a shame that undergraduate dental students aren’t able to use the BDA library postal loan scheme (hence the 4 star rating).

Dear James,
Thanks for taking the time to post your review. It's great to hear that you find your membership useful.
We would love to offer the postal loan service to students, but as books are so expensive, it would mean we would have to significantly increase the price of student membership. We try to keep our student fees as low as possible (only £2.34 a month) and choose to focus on expanding our eLibrary for students instead.
Thanks again for your feedback.

BDA review
BDA
It is fabulous to be part of the BDA as a student. The BDA offers so much however I think the most beneficial aspect is the library. In dental school, I think it would be good if more students were aware of what the BDA is and the advantages of being a member.

Recommend joining as a student
I would definitely recommend joining the BDA as a student. As well as getting access to the BDJ both online and hard copies, you get money off some great events throughout the year such as BDSA sports day.
