Patient Records: Referrals
Part of the Patient Records Course Bundle
30-minute online ECPD course for Dental Professionals
“Short & sweet course. All main points were highlighted.”
There are a number of reasons why you may wish to refer patients for treatment or advice. The main reason for referring a patient is because the treatment proposed is either completely outside your skills and competence or because you feel a more appropriately trained colleague will be able to provide treatment with a greater degree of skill and competence, which would be in the patient’s best interests.
This course aims to help you understand the importance of referrals to other treating clinicians. Implementing this knowledge into your day to day work will help maintain good patient records.
This course is suitable for the whole dental team.
