Integrating with your software

For all EXACT users we have a new system that fully integrates with your practice software, providing a referral button on the SoE screen. If you have updated your SoE system or simply wish to have the button located on screen, then please use the updated software (full instructions are available below).  The integration is fully supported and approved by SoE and their help desk is available to support any users with installation.  You will still need an API key – you can get one using the form to the right.

Radiograph Scanners

If you are using traditional, non digital radiographs a faster and secure way of attaching them is to scan your films and then use our online submission process. Scanning films is quick and easy to do and it means that you can use our PACS system for image viewing and also retain your original films.

Radiograph scanners (for PA and bitewings), are available from a number of suppliers.

You can use this link to an ebay shop who sell the scanners or by searching ” Dental film scanners” or” Dental X-ray film viewer” in your browser

If you need to submit an extra-oral film you can post these to us for scanning – or take a photograph of the film on an appropriate lightbox.

(Please note: Regional guidelines apply – Practices in the North-East and North Cumbria are not permitted to do this and the facility to send to a local provider for a digital OPG will be put in place.

As more and more practices move to digital radiographs the online system is adapting to make sure that we use these to best advantage – ensuring that patient exposure to ionising radiation is reduced, and that appointment times are shortened as there is less need for repeat views.

You can scan directly from a scanner on this page or from here.

Software Integration 

You can now export demographic information from your practice software to the referral system.  This system also enables submission without the need to login or enter passwords.

You can see a video of how the system works, at the bottom of this page.

In order to use the system, you must already be signed up for our online service (if not do it here), and then simply complete the form below to get a unique API key that you can use to get started.

PLEASE NOTE: The API key and instructions will be sent to the username email address only

We hope to get your API to you within 48 hours of your application.  We will email you a PDF document with all the information you need as well as the links to download the software. Please check your junk and spam folder for this email.

If you software provider is not listed, please contact them directly and request that they approach us for details of how to provide a solution.

Please read the instructions fully and follow them step-by-step, should you have any issues please email us at the referral centre.
