We are sorry to report that there is yet another IT issue across the NHS which means our internet has gone down and we are unable to access patient medical records.
As you are aware, this is the third time this has happened in nearly as many weeks.
We can only apologise for the inconvenience but it is outside our control and is affecting other practices too.
Please avoid calling the surgery for routine matters at this time as we cannot access your records.
We will update you as soon as have more news.
Thank you

Dear patients

Following the national outage last week we are relieved that our clinical system is back up and running today. However, please be aware that as a result of last week’s problems we are now working through a large backlog of work including prescription requests , incoming documents, messages and so on.
We will endeavour to get all the prescription requests signed off by the end of today and are working hard to get through the backlog. Once again we thank you for bearing with us while we do this.
I would also like to thank the team for doing an amazing job in very challenging circumstances.

Thank you

Global Microsoft IT Outage affecting GP Practices – 19 July 2024

The NHS is aware of a global IT outage and an issue with EMIS Web, an appointment, prescription and patient record system used by GP practices across Somerset.

Phone systems in some surgeries are cloud-based, which means they are currently unable to answer calls.

If you have a booked appointment and have not been contacted by your surgery, then please attend as usual.

If you are unsure where to go, please check NHS online - 111.nhs.uk or call 111 for medical advice.

There is currently no known impact on 999 or emergency services, so people should use these services as they usually would.

Services in community pharmacies, including accessing prescriptions from GPs and medicine deliveries, are disrupted today. The NHS has long standing measures in place to manage the disruption, including using paper patient records and handwritten prescriptions.

Please don't turn up at the emergency department or our Urgent Treatment Centres, unless you have an urgent medical reason so we can keep these services for the people who need them the most.

Thank you for your patience with our staff.

Dear Patients,

Please be aware we are currently experiencing IT issues with no access to our clinical system. This is a national problem affecting all surgeries and many other organisations.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to our patients and hope to get things back up and running asap.

We would just like to let our patients know that our system now seems to be up and running okay again and we are starting to get back to normal. We thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience this has caused you over the last two days.

Update as of Friday morning:

Unfortunately, we are still experiencing problems the same as yesterday. Our local IT team are working hard to try and fix this for us.

We apologise for any inconvenience this is causing our patients. Please bear with us today.

Dear Patients,

Please be aware we are currently experiencing IT issues with no access to our clinical system, emails and internet and limited phone access (cannot answer as many incoming calls).

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to our patients and hope to get things back up and running asap.

Ask reception for more information.
