How we can help you?

Bluechip Staff Association


BCSA have been contacted by DNN to see if we can work more closely together for advice and assistance for all support staff working in the Dental industry which includes, Dental Nurses, Receptionist and Practice Managers. BCSA is headed up by Ted Purcell; this is a brief outline of who he is and what his organisation can offer you.

Ted Purcell is an experienced trade union officer, and has over 25 years of experience in representing people in all industries; he was head of public services and a senior officer for one of the large unions GMB. Since leaving them last year he has set up and formed BCSA which is a non political organisation that supports and helps people at work. Ted’s aim is to provide excellent advice and support that consistently meets member’s expectations; this is done by making sure that employers, the Dentist have good and strong equal opportunities and they conform to health and safety legislation.

Since talking to DNN and representing some dental nurses Ted realises what is needed in the industry. He said “I have dealt with many cases over the years but 2 of the cases I have dealt with in the dental industry were particularly alarming, there was claims of work place bullying a complete lack of health and safety, one dental nurse even had to pay back over a £1000 because she signed a contract without seeking advice first.”
“ We will make sure that all our member’s have a right to expect fairness and respect at work and encourage employers to do everything possible to ensure that all our members who are employees and potential employees have equal opportunity irrespective of age, sex, race religion or disability •
BCSA will keep subscriptions low and affordable. And return your call within 24 hours.

Our aim is to make sure that dental nurses get the respect they deserve by having a proper career structure in place for better pay and conditions, including health and safety in the workplace. BCSA is a membership lead union that will listen to its member’s views and ideas on how to improve the whole industry.”
