The British Dental Association (BDA) has produced a series of short podcasts called 'In 10'. The podcasts combine a news angle with some of the advice and services the BDA offers to members and feature interviews with BDA experts and officers.

The hot topics covered so far include tooth whitening, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the NHS pilots and most recently, dental care professionals (DCPs).

In the DCP podcast, Judith Husband talks about the General Dental Council's (GDC's) ruling on direct access and the BDA's reaction to it then Ulrike Matthesius covers the practical impact direct access has on the profession. BDA legal advisor James Goldman discusses how the BDA can support members on employment and legal issues and Ulrike also highlights the BDA's resources for DCPs, including training courses and CPD.
