NewsPosted by: Dental Design 23rd April 2020
The British Dental Association (BDA) has begun of the process of resolving the first pay disputes over pay during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Following successful lobbying, corporate bodies and practice owners with NHS contracts will continue to be paid assuming certain conditions are met. One of those is that they are obliged to pass on income due to associates. Practices are also required to support the wider NHS pandemic effort, and this is likely to involve associates if NHS money is to be passed on.
The service’s primary aim is to ensure that any issues are resolved in a fair and satisfactory way for everyone involved and so that effective working relationships are maintained.

Chair of the BDA’s Associate Group Sarah Canavan said, “We are setting out to help all parties reach a fair agreement in line with NHS rules. At this difficult time, we are offering associates potentially the only route they have for real clarity on their pay.
