The British Association of Dental Nurses (BADN) is pleased to announce the launch of a Health and Wellbeing Hub for its members, with access through the BADN Benefits platform.

The Health and Wellbeing Hub will offer members articles, tips and practical advice on wellbeing across hot topics including stress management, financial wellbeing and resilience. Every two months the wellbeing hub will launch a new topic and content will continually be refreshed.

Health and wellbeing has never been so important to BADN members and their families. As well as access to the Health and Wellbeing Hub, BADN members also have access to a free legal advice helpline (in January 2020 BADN members used the helpline for nearly 300 minutes of advice) and a 24/7 counselling support line and Health e-Hub mobile application.
