BDA ‘crisis’ suggestions

Chief executive Peter Ward and principal executive committee chair Martin Fallowfield have been setting the record straight in blogs for the BDA’s Communities website. The blogs reiterate the background to changes to the BDA’s membership structure implemented earlier this year, detail how the changes were made and explain how the Association is re-shaping itself to ensure it delivers the services members demand.

BDA chief executive Peter Ward said:

“A small number of reports in third party media have suggested that the BDA is facing challenges of a far more significant scale than is actually the case. We would like to set the record straight and assure dentists that their Association is safe and secure.

“Earlier this year, following extensive research, we implemented changes to the BDA’s membership structure. Those changes recognised that the profession had changed and that its Association needed to change with it. For the first time in the Association’s 133-year history, members can choose from a range of membership packages.
