This strategic partnership will focus on delivering practical benefits for dental practice managers and non-clinical staff — including access to BDIA training courses designed to upskill front-of-house and administrative teams across the UK. “This partnership is a natural fit,” said Edmund Proffitt, chief executive of the BDIA. “We share ADAM’s commitment to supporting practice managers and the wider dental team. “By combining our resources and expertise, we’re able to provide even more value to practices and help ensure that all staff — not just clinicians — have the knowledge and confidence they need to thrive.” ADAM members will have access to exclusive discounts on BDIA training courses, including the Introduction to Dentistry and Advanced Certificate programmes. The courses cover a mix of practical topics — including dental anatomy, restorative treatments, and infection control. They have been put together with help from people who know the industry and are designed to be flexible and easy to follow. Lisa Bainham, president of ADAM, said: “We are delighted to be working with the BDIA on this important initiative. “Non-clinical staff are vital to the smooth running of every practice, and this partnership ensures they have the tools and support to continue delivering excellence.” The partnership will also explore future opportunities for collaboration, including joint events, resources, and initiatives to support the ongoing professional development of dental teams.   calendar icon Aug 18, 2025 2:22:07 PM ![BDA's scathing attack on Chancellor's private dentistry probe](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/BDA.jpg?width=600&name=BDA.jpg) ## [BDA's scathing attack on Chancellor's private dentistry probe](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/bdas-scathing-attack-on-chancellors-private-dentistry-probe) The chairman of the British Dental Association (BDA) has described the Chancellor’s [call for an...](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/chancellor-calls-for-probe-into-private-dental-treatment-fees) ![Reforms to the NHS Dentistry Contract 'not a final destination', says the BDA](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/change-671371_1280.jpg?width=600&name=change-671371_1280.jpg) ## [Reforms to the NHS Dentistry Contract 'not a final destination', says the BDA](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/reforms-to-the-nhs-dentistry-contract-not-a-final-destination-says-the-bda) The Government’s commitment this week to reform the *[NHS Dentistry Contract](https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/nhs-dentistry-contract-quality-and-payment-reforms/nhs-dentistry-contract-quality-and-payment-reforms-consultation-document) *in England ‘lacks... ![Northern Ireland government urged to ‘go further and faster’ to reform NHS dentistry](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/geralt-change-3256330_1280.jpg?width=600&name=geralt-change-3256330_1280.jpg) ## [Northern Ireland government urged to ‘go further and faster’ to reform NHS dentistry](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/northern-ireland-government-urged-to-go-further-and-faster-to-reform-nhs-dentistry) Plans to increase funding for dentistry services in Northern Ireland have been deemed... ![From digital workflows to game-changing research](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/20251122_adi_113.jpg?width=600&name=20251122_adi_113.jpg) ## [From digital workflows to game-changing research](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/from-digital-workflows-to-game-changing-research) For over 500 years, the Royal College of Physicians has continually championed breakthroughs in... ![DTOC RGB Logo-2](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hubfs/DTOC%20RGB%20Logo-2.svg)![DTOC Rev Logo](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hubfs/DTOC%20Rev%20Logo.svg) The Dentist Times Owners Club is an exclusive, free-to-join community, designed specifically for dental practice owners.    **              Organised by**** Nexus Media Group** ![nmg-logo](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/nmg-logo.png?width=174&height=83&name=nmg-logo.png) Registered office: 3rd floor, 10 Rose & Crown Yard, King Street, London SW1Y 6RE ***[https://nexusmediagroup.co.uk/](https://nexusmediagroup.co.uk/)*** Registered in England & Wales No.7430935 VAT Registration Number: 629 547 604        --- © 2025 Dentist Times Owners Club ↑ ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Joanne Makosinski", "url" : "https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/author/joanne-makosinski" }, "dateModified" : "2025-08-18T13:22:49.047Z", "datePublished" : "2025-08-18T13:22:07.000Z", "headline" : "Industry partnership to help raise standards", "image" : [ "https://dentist-times.co.uk/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(22)-1.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/industry-partnership-to-help-raise-standards", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://dentist-times.co.uk/hubfs/NMG_Black_logo.svg" }, "name" : "Nexus Media Group" } } ```
