What's happening when?
We are asking Trainees at the above Trusts to undertake no contractual duties between 07.00 on 14 June and 07.00 on 17 June.
I've just joined the BDA. Can I take action?
If you have recently joined the BDA and you are employed by one of the Trusts listed above, please contact
industrialaction@bda.org.
I'm not a member but want to take part
If non-members take action on the dates the BDA takes action it will not be classed as official action and the dentist in question may find themselves facing action from their employers.
If you would like to be included in any future action, join the BDA.
How will the BDA industrial action work with the BMA's?
Hospital dentists are employed on the same contract as their medical colleagues. Any action we take will coincide with that being taken by the BMA.
What's happening in clinical academia?
Clinical academics often work alongside hospital colleagues, but the key difference is that they are employed on University contracts of employment and have an honorary hospital status. At the moment it is only trainees directly employed by Trusts on substantive trainee contracts who are taking action.
