The registration of patients with dentists makes sure patients have access to, and continue to have access to, NHS dental services.
If you wish to move registered patients from one dentist's list to another, view the section on bulk transfers .
When a registered patient is to be removed from your list of patients, you are effectively withdrawing the patient from receiving NHS dental services. More information is available on the notice period required, and the process to be followed, when withdrawing a patient.
To make sure we have a single record for each patient in Scotland, patient treatment histories need to be linked accurately. The patient detail amendment section highlights how to recognise when patient details are incorrectly linked and what you need to do to amend them.
When you receive your monthly schedule, you should check the 'Cap & Con Care Information' section. This highlights the patient registration payments that are going to change or stop. The registration schedule query section explains which part of the schedule to check and how to query any of the entries.
