For UK dental practices & specialists

Referrals slip
through the cracks.
RefClin closes the loop.

Paper forms, faxes and email threads lose referrals, leave referrers in the dark, and let patients fall between practices. RefClin gives every referral a tracked, secure home — from first send to final outcome report.

UK GDPR-ready Not a marketplace Free for referrers

Close the loop

Track every referral end-to-end — sent, triaged, treated, report returned.

One secure hub

Notes, radiographs, messages and reports live together against each referral.

A network, not a marketplace

You choose who you work with. No patient auctions, no fee-splitting — ever.

Built for UK dental

Designed around UK GDPR, GDC standards and how dental teams actually work.

01 — The problem

Why dental referrals fail today

Referring out should be routine. Instead it's the part of care most likely to break — for the referrer, the specialist, and above all the patient.

Lost in transit

Faxes, paper forms and email threads go missing. No one is sure a referral arrived, or what happened next.

No visibility

The referring practice rarely hears back. Was the patient seen? Treated? The loop is never closed.

Patients fall through

Hand-offs between practices drop cases. Patients wait, chase, or simply disappear from care.

Compliance risk

Sending patient records over email or paper is hard to secure and harder to audit under UK GDPR.

02 — How RefClin fixes it

Every referral, tracked end to end

The same case, visible to both the referring practice and the specialist, at every step — so everyone knows exactly where the patient is.

01

Compose & send

The referring practice submits demographics, medical history, allergies and radiographs in one form. Consent is captured and timestamped, then the referral lands in the specialist’s inbox instantly.

02

Triage & treat

The receiving specialist triages, assigns and books the patient. Status flows through Under Review → Patient Contacted → In Treatment — visible live to both sides, with secure messaging in between.

03

Close the loop

When treatment is complete, an outcome report goes back to the referrer against the same case. Every referral is accounted for. Nothing falls through the cracks.
