NHS Centre
Cloud Software for NHS Dental Practices
Delivering care within the NHS framework requires accuracy, compliance, and efficient workflows. CareStack's NHS Centre is designed to support NHS dental practices by simplifying claim submission, improving visibility into performance, and centralising all NHS operational data in one place. From recording treatments and submitting claims to tracking activity across clinicians and locations, CareStack helps practices stay aligned with NHS processes while reducing administrative burden.
CareStack is also built to keep your practice fully compliant with the NHS 2026 contract changes from day one, with automated workflows, built-in validations, and updated treatment mappings ready to go. From the new FP17PR patient data requirements and Unscheduled Care plans to restructured denture treatments and updated band charges, CareStack handles the complexity behind the scenes. Inline warnings flag expired codes and incorrect band mappings, while automatic fee updates ensure the right patient charge is always applied based on the date of acceptance.
CareStack also supports the operational shifts that come with these changes, including Nurse-Applied Fluoride Varnish claims and sub-band calculations for Fissure Sealants and Pre-formed Crowns, so your clinical and reception teams stay aligned without additional administrative burden. With real-time data access and integrated workflows, your team can focus more on patient care and less on manual coordination, across single or multi-site practices.
For the ultimate dental software, choose the solution that’s scalable for growing dental start-ups or large multi-site practices and still affordable for single-location dental practices. Choose CareStack!
