“As a leader within the dental lab sector we find it challenging to keep up with regulatory changes and flow through effects from clinical requirements. The BDIA has been paramount in giving ongoing guidance and allowing me to proactively keep up and make changes as required.

“When I set up NSK in May 2007 I didn’t have to think twice about signing the business up for BDIA Membership. Over the years we have used the BDIA Introduction to Dentistry training resource for colleagues new to dentistry, regulatory and compliance matters and as a general sounding board. I value the BDIA’s lobbying efforts to make our industry’s voice heard in places inaccessible for individual members. To me the BDIA is an invaluable resource and membership should be part of anybody’s armamentarium who is operating in our space.”
