IT UPGRADE - PATIENT INFORMATION
Tuesday 01/09/20 to Thursday 03/09/20
On the above dates our computer systems are being upgraded and our server replaced.
We will have NO IT SYSTEMS at all during this time. This means that we will have no access to your medical records.
We will be UNABLE to process any repeat prescriptions during this time, so please help us by ordering your prescriptions before this date, or wait until the following week.
APPOINTMENTS WILL BE RESTRICTED TO URGENT MATTERS WHICH CANNOT WAIT UNTIL OUR NORMAL SERVICE RESUMES, AS OUR STAFF WILL HAVE NO ACCESS TO YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS.
This work is vital in ensuring that our IT systems are up to date and are not vulnerable to failure, or from hacking as recently experienced in many NHS areas.
We appreciate that this “downtime” is extremely frustrating for both staff and patients, and we are grateful for your patience and un derstanding while this necessary work is carried out. Thank you.
