Tomorrow-27th August we go live with our new computer system. This will be a massive adjustment for the whole practice team.

Our admin team and clinicians will be working hard to clear the back log of tasks that have built up over the last 3.5 days from patients, nursing homes, pharmacies, hospitals, out of hours services, secondary care clinics and labs to name a few.... on top of dealing with new patient enquiries, secondary care information, appointments, results, referrals, prescription requests and 100's of pages of electronic mail etc all whilst navigating a new computer system.

Although we "go live" we still need time to process all of the above before being able to relay information to our patients.

We ask for your patience and understanding and thank you all for the same thus far!

Thanks!

📢📢IMPORTANT NOTICE📢📢

We are upgrading our clinical computer system between Friday 22nd and Tuesday 26th August and will have extremely limited access to patients records.

Unfortunately this means we will be unable to action non-urgent repeat prescription requests!! Cut off time will be 12:00pm Thursday 21st August.

💊Please check NOW to ensure that you will have enough medication to last you over this period and if you do not, please request it now.

🩺We will be able to process requests again when the new system goes live on Wednesday 27th August 8:30am and they can be ordered via autoline and via prescriptions.z00388@gp.hscni.net in the normal way.

💻If you are a user of online services, please note that online services will be deactivated from Friday 15th August. You will need to order any prescriptions via the methods above and we will contact you over the coming weeks to re-register with our new online portal.

🔀Please share with family and friends who are patients of the surgery so that we can spread this message and minimise disruption to patients as much possible!

Thank you!

Between 15th July 2025 and 12th August 2025 we had 126 wasted appointments where patients DID NOT ATTEND their appointment with the doctor, treatment room or practice nurse. We simply cannot sustain this wasted resource when there are so many people in need. Please give us notice if you cannot make your appointment so we can offer it to others!

Being aware of general signs and symptoms linked to having a brain tumour can help in early detection.

Brain tumours can occur at any age but tend to be more common with increasing age. The earlier a cancer is picked up, the easier it is to treat and the more likely it is for the treatment to be successful.

For more information on spotting cancer symptoms, visit www.BeCancerAwareNI.info
