+4HI. I am familiar with the FP17forms that the patients sign through dentally. We also need to sign FP17DC. Can these also be done through dentally? I am referring to the form https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/sites/default/files/2025-04/FP17DC%20form%20England%20-%20April%202025.pdf
I could not find any reference to it here or in the support portal.
Thank you

Hey
At the moment, FP17DC isn’t supported for digital signing in Dentally. In practice, most NHS and DPMS practices now use the NHS Treatment Plan Estimate in Dentally instead, which is intended to serve the same purpose as FP17DC. It outlines the proposed treatment, shows the expected NHS charges, and captures patient acknowledgement, and is generally accepted in place of FP17DC.
One of the reasons FP17DC isn’t supported directly is that the form changes regularly, whereas the treatment plan estimate is the more stable, NHS-aligned approach used day to day. If your commissioner or internal processes still specifically require FP17DC, the workaround would be to complete it externally and upload it to the patient record as an attachment. 😊
