We are aware of some disruption to NHS services locally – affecting our local hospitals, community services, and primary care – as a result of the global IT outage, but we are managing this.

The only two GP practices we know are affected are The Glebe Practice, Saxilby, and Long Sutton Medical Centre, who both use a system called EMIS which is currently affected.  However, both practices have plans in place and are seeing patients where clinically safe to do so.

There may be some delays but patients should continue to attend appointments unless told otherwise.  Please remember to use NHS services sensibly and appropriately, and to be kind to all of our staff whether that’s in your GP practice, your local pharmacy or in hospital.
