Referral Guidance

In accordance with guidance issued by the European Commission, we have adopted the best practice which requires dentists who refer patients for CBCT scanning to have a service level agreement in place with their chosen CBCT scanning referral centre.
As per the published dental guidance notes, recommended ‘adequate training’ standard for dental practice staff referring for dental CBCT scans is to complete Level 1 (Core) training in dental CBCT.
We accept referrals with evidence of adequate scan referral training as the guidance notes state that completion of Level Core training in dental CBCT is only the latest recommended adequate training.
Therefore you can continue to refer to us for scans using your previous qualification with the choice of updating your training if you wish to refresh your knowledge.
(All of our Prosthodontists have completed Level 1 and 2 and continue to refer and report on scans).
