• Emergency Dental Service which provides out-of-hours dental care when a patient's clinical condition needs prompt attention.

The required software management system includes the following:

- Cloud based storage and browser user access point;
- Electronic patient medical histories & NHS Patient Record forms;
- Dental specific charting and treatment planning features;
- Electronic patient portal for appointment booking and communication;
- Integrated communication systems (email and SMS);
- Integrated wait list management and reporting;
- Performance reporting features; and
- Dental contract and financial practice management features.
