Patients who are not eligible for this service will be either rejected and referred back to the referring GDP or escalated to an Acute Trust; * ensure new Provider(s) actively work in partnership with NHS E/I Midlands, Local Dental Network (LDN), Oral Surgery MCN's, Sustainable Transformation Partnerships (STP's) and Primary Care Networks (PCN's) to review and implement relevant Commissioning Standards to transform specialised dental services; * ensure that anyone performing Level 2 oral surgery procedures is accredited as a Performer of oral surgery Level 2 complexity care before delivering care in this Service via a Local Accreditation Panel to accredit Performers if they are not already accredited. This will be based on the NHS England Accreditation of Performers of Level 2 complexity care documentation.
