The British Dental Association (BDA) is calling on community dental service (CDS) and public dental service (PDS) dentists to have their say on job satisfaction, morale, motivation and the impact COVID-19 has had on them, their work and their service.

Members have been sent a personalised link or a paper questionnaire to participate and are urged to spare ten minutes to share their views as such responses are vital to the BDA's ability to submit robust arguments and evidence to the Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration (DDRB) on issues of pay, retention, motivation and morale.

All members working in the CDS and PDS are welcome to participate by completing the questionnaire and helping the BDA to be the collective voice of dentistry. Those emailed an invitation and who would like to take part should responses by Sunday 14 August. The deadline for paper returns is Monday 8 August.

To thank members for their time, those who respond using their personalised questionnaire will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 voucher. Information provided is treated confidentially and used only for research purposes. Collected data will be anonymised so it will not be possible to identify individuals in any outputs.
