Important NHS functions have been impacted by Microsoft's worldwide problems, as the medical computer system EMIS is not working.

At the moment, all of our computer systems are unavailable due to the global Microsoft disruption.
We are not able to obtain any patient data.
We ask that you contact us on Monday when we are back up and running, and that you only call if you have an urgent medical issue.

GPs use the EMIS system to schedule appointments, access patient records, issue prescriptions, and make referrals. Prescriptions cannot be issued and even if they were written by hand, the issue would still impact the pharmacies. The issue is bad enough for hospitals, but it's hurting everything in the area.
