Every referral must be signed by you and include:
- Patient’s name, date of birth, address, post code and telephone numbers
- Medical practitioner details
- Medical history
- Reason for referral, including history of condition and treatment provided to date
- Recent, high quality radiographs, where appropriate
Referrers are able to describe the referral as routine, soon or urgent. Based on the referral information and your description we will screen the referrals in a timely manner and allocate to an appropriate clinic.
Study casts are occasional useful in the consultation process and can be posted to Dundee Dental Hospital & School. If necessary, please ask your patient to bring these to their consultant appointment.
During treatment, your patients may require some aspects of routine and emergency dental care from you. This emergency care is sometimes related to treatment underway in the Dental Hospital, we ask that your patients are seen, if appropriate, in your practice for these emergencies. Once treatment is complete, your patients will be discharged back to your care for ongoing maintenance and routine care.
