RoyMac5 Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 Some GP surgeries in England are having issues with booking appointments. "There are multiple reports in relation to EMIS Web - which allows GPs to manage appointment bookings, conduct patient consultations, and update, store and share patient records. Grimethorpe Surgery in Barnsley posted on X, external reporting a "major issue" saying it has "no access" to the clinical system. The clinic later posted saying: "We are aware that users are still unable to access EMIS Web." The Church Lane Surgery in Brighouse posted on X saying "our clinical system has not been working since 7am this morning". "We have no access to patient clinical records so are unable to book appointments or provide information." Central Lakes Medical Group in Ambleside wrote on X saying it has been "impacted by the IT outage". Solihull Healthcare Partnership in the West Midlands said there is a "national issue" with "EMIS Web", the clinical computer system." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaspode Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I wonder how many of the companies affected have heard of Buisness Continuity Planning? - and are now wishing they'd invested time and money putting things in place that would minimise the impact of a widescale IT outage.... cstand and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
