NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is moving to a new digital dental charting system. The system, called SALUD, is being introduced across Glasgow Dental Hospital and School.
This will replace the current paper-based dental charting and clinical documentation.
Why are we making this change?
SALUD will:
- Improve patient safety and record accuracy
- Provide clear, structured digital documentation
- Reduce reliance on paper records
- Support the move towards a fully integrated electronic patient record (EPR)
What does this mean for you?
Clinical documentation will move from paper to digital, and workflows may change slightly depending on your role/specialty.
Full training will be provided ahead of go‑live, with support available during and after implementation.
When is this happening?
Dates are still being finalised. Current timelines are as follows:
- Training planned for August / September
- Go‑live in September / October
How will I be supported?
- Role‑based training sessions
- Quick reference guides and resources
- Superusers / on‑site support at go‑live
- Ongoing support via Digital Services
Where can I find more information?
Check out our Frequently Asked Questions below, and more resources and training opportunities are coming soon.
What should I do now?
Nothing at this stage – just be aware that the change is coming.
You will receive training information, further updates and details of how to prepare over the coming months.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SALUD?
SALUD is a digital dental charting system that allows clinicians to record patient information electronically, replacing paper-based records.
Why are we introducing SALUD?
SALUD will improve:
- Efficiency in accessing and sharing patient information
- Patient safety and accuracy of records
- Consistency of clinical documentation
Is TrakCare being replaced?
No.
- SALUD will be used specifically for dental charting and clinical documentation, such as clinical notes, treatment plans, diagnoses codes and patient allergies
- TrakCare remains the system for patient demographics and appointments
My specialty is currently utilising Digital Clinical Notes (DCN) for recording of information. Will this be affected?
- The initial roll out will focus on those specialties currently using paper notes
- There will be a hybrid phase during which some specialties will be recording their notes on Salud, and some will be recording on Digital Clinical Notes
- All information input into SALUD will be viewable via clinical portal, allowing viewability across specialties
- Engagement with specialties already on DCN will be communicated in due course prior to further roll out
When will SALUD go live?
We are currently working towards:
- Training in August / September
- Go‑live in September / October
These dates are indicative and will be confirmed closer to implementation.
Will I receive training?
Yes – all users will receive training appropriate to their role before go‑live.
More information on training sessions will be shared shortly.
How will training be delivered?
Training is expected to include:
- Supporting materials such as quick reference guides
- Face‑to‑face sessions
- Online sessions
Will there be support at go-live?
Yes. There will be:
- Ongoing help via Digital Services
- Superusers available locally
- On‑site support during go‑live
Do I need to prepare anything now?
No immediate action is required.
Further instructions – including training and system access – will be shared in advance.
Who can I contact if I have questions?
- Your local clinical lead, manager or tutor or…
- The Digital SALUD Project Team ggc.spi-epr.team@nhs.scot
