It depends on the area. The way it works around where I live is that the dentist makes the referral. It isn’t sent to a hospital but a centralised office who assess and then either bounce it back to the dentist (just because a patient demands does not mean that they are eligible for hospital treatment), sends it onwards to a specialist practice or for very difficult cases sends it on to the hospital. On the most part it’s a good system as it keeps the waiting list down for the difficult cases.

According to the NHS choices website a dentist MAY suggest a tooth coloured filling if it is on the front teeth, but nothing to say that it is compulsory. I guess the FP17 form is because the initial exam was on the NHS.

The NHS doesn't pay more for exempt patients than for paying patients. Just send off the receipts showing that you paid for your treatment.
-
Didn't you think it strange at the time that they didn't charge you for your treatment?
-
What do you mean Pin that it is like for like? Does that mean you will be getting a gold crown and the fill on the NHS would be metal?
-
Don't really understand your point King. Just because the parent is concerned about their child does not mean the professional is concerned that there is a safeguarding issue going on. That flowchart is not aimed at parents!
-
That is absolute crap king. Does the history or nature of the injury raise any concerns? The answer is not always yes. Child having a broken arm from falling off a trampoline...Child with cuts/ abrasions from falling over... In this case it was the fact the child could not use the leg although there was no obvious problems that alerted them. If they had been able to say that the child had been playing tag in the playground and tripped, then I can assure you it would have gone no further. Social services are over stretched - they aren't looking for work.

I think what zippy is getting at is that the Labour government spent billions of tax payers money on the "super computer" despite people saying that it wouldn't work and in the end it got scrapped anyway. That is what has broken the NHS not the training of staff.

Am I self employes
Goldenleaf replied to frustratedinc's topic in Self Employment Issues and Questions
As far as employment law is concerned whether someone is truly an employee, a worker or self-employed will depend on a number of factors and whilst the contract and the fact the person pays their own tax/ni is pretty persuasive, a tribunal will look at the practical realities, including how much control the individual has over the work they perform (the control test), whether they have the right to refuse work (mutuality of obligation) and the unfettered right to send a substitute. -
Nolegion I don't know what case you have made. As I keep saying there is a big difference between an NHS dentist saying I can't do this on the NHS but can do it privately and an NHS or private dentist saying I can't do this proceedure, it is beyond my expertise but I can refer you to a specialist who can. Just because treatments are available on the NHS does not mean all cases can be treated by non-specialists.
-
Well what? Firstly the dentist in question is private NOT NHS. Secondly I am saying that there have not been enough symptoms in the OP to either agree or disagree with your statement.
-
Nolegion, what I am suggesting is that the dentist the OP is referring to has said that the work should be carried out by a specialist which is not available on the NHS. The OP has NOT said that the dentist told her that root canal treatment was not available on the NHS.
-
Susie58 reports her dentist said root canal work:- "…was not carried out by NHS and the only way we could have it was private… !" Wrong!! Suzie58 reports her dentist said "daughter needed specialist treatment and there were absesses forming along the top of her front teeth and she needed to see a endodontist. He said this work was not carried out by NHS and the only way we could have it was private - and pay!" It's all in the wording. There is a big difference between a dentist saying I can't do this treatment on the NHS but I can do it privately and a dentist saying I can't do this treatment at all, but I know someone who can however it will be private.
-
My question is should he have referred us to the NHS dentist for this work to be carried out due to her age? No, it is up to you to seek out NHS treatment, not for a private dentist to refer you to one. Saying that it is very rare to find a specialist endodontist on the NHS, so even an NHS dentist would probably have to refer you to a private specialist if it was beyond their expertise.
