The Society have contributed to the amazing Mental Health Wellness in Dentistry work. This work is co-Chaired by Roz McMullan and Fiona Ellwood and has been co-designed with representation of the all of the professional groups: Society of British Dental Nurses, Orthodontic Technicians Association, British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy, British Association of Dental Therapists, Orthodontic Therapists Society, British Institute of Surgical & Dental Technology and British Association of Clinical Dental Technologists.
SBDN have continued to work on its own commitment to the Mental Health Wellness strategy and work with its members group to ensure this remains a key focus in their work.
The Society have set up a pledge board and ask that dental nurses and mental health leads send their pledges to us at admin@bdns.org.uk we have also launched the Mental Health community – a group for like minded people to share thoughts and practice and share useful resources. Our work supports the work by MHWD and will focus on Early Intervention and Safe Signposting. We hope you will get involved, none of us really know what is going on in someone’s life and maybe you could make a difference in someone’s day.
