Urgent Referrals to the Oral Surgery Department for suspected malignant tumours.
Cork University Dental School and Hospital is committed to ensuring that a secure, streamlined system for referrals is in place. As part of this process we have registered with Healthmail.
Healthmail is a clinical email service which allows healthcare providers to send and receive clinical patient information securely. Users are issued with @healthmail.ie email accounts and this allows them to safely communicate patient-identifiable clinical information.
Completed referral forms can be sent through this system and an acknowledgement will issue to the referring practitioner, confirming that the referral has been received.
If you wish to begin using this free system to submit your referrals electronically, please click on the following link - Healthmail
You will need to apply for a Healthmail address and, once you have been set up, you will have the facility to send referrals electronically to Cork University Dental School and Hospital.
Important
Please note that we are not permitted to directly accept patients who wish to use their medical card to cover their treatment costs.
Should a patient wish to be treated under this scheme, you will need to refer the patient to the Principal Dental Surgeon in the first instance for approval.
If approved, the referral will be forwarded to us for treatment under our service level agreement with the HSE.
