💙 November is Mouth Cancer Action Month! 💙

This November, BADN Community proud to raise awareness of Mouth Cancer Action Month 2026, organised by the Oral Health Foundation.

With over 11,000 people diagnosed with mouth cancer in the UK every year, raising awareness and recognising the warning signs is more important than ever.

As dental nurses, we understand the importance of raising awareness of mouth cancer, helping patients recognise the warning signs and encouraging them to seek advice when something doesn't seem right. Early detection can save lives!

This year's campaign message says it all:

💙 “Change is your sign: Remove the doubt, get checked out.” 💙

The General Dental Council (GDC) has confirmed that the Annual Retention Fee (ARF) for dental care professionals will rise to £111 in 2027.

An extra £3 might not seem much, but looking at the bigger picture, the ARF has increased from £96 in 2025 to £111 in 2027 – a 15.6% rise.

Interestingly, the GDC previously acknowledged concerns about the financial impact on lower-paid professionals, particularly dental nurses, and calls for fees that reflect different income levels. Yet the same fee continues to apply to all DCPs, regardless of earnings.

An extra hour in bed? Yes, please! 😴

Don't forget, the clocks go back this Sunday, 25 October!

Sounds great in theory… but let's be honest, we'll probably spend the rest of the week wondering what time it is!

Enjoy that extra hour in bed, dental nurses! 💙
