The forthcoming April edition of BDJ In Practice will be a themed issue focusing on recruitment and retention.

BDJ Team

The February issue of BDJ Team was quite the draw on social media due to the personal account ‘I was attacked by a patient' (https://go.nature.com/3T1umUG). The dental therapist author aims to pass on safety advice to other dental professionals. Also in February, the sixth and final part of BDJ Team's series on ‘Embracing neurodiversity-informed dentistry' was published, looking at neuro-inclusion within the profession (https://go.nature.com/3T5eXCP). The Editor is currently planning a DCP research issue for the autumn and encourages submissions (which can be summaries) from any DCP involved with research (k.quinlan@nature.com).
