‘Hello, MaxFax on-call?’ – maxillofacial ‘bleep sheet’ proforma for on-call referrals

The on-call component of a dental core training (DCT) post in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is considered to be the most daunting and challenging aspect of the job. The average trainee is a singly-qualified dentist with limited knowledge and experience of managing OMFS presentations. Given the short duration of DCT posts, there is a continual rotation of junior staff through OMFS departments with a varying skillset and knowledge mix. As such, the consistent recording of appropriate information remains a constant challenge.
