Dear Patients,

Please be aware that our systems are still not operational. They have been unavailable since approximately 1pm yesterday due to a major technical issue affecting services across Lancashire and Warrington.

At present, we do not have access to our clinical systems or patient medical records. Unless you require emergency or urgent medical assistance, we kindly ask that you do not telephone the practice at this time.

Please note that this is a nationwide issue and is completely outside of our control.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we respectfully ask that you treat our staff with kindness and respect while we work through this difficult situation.

Thank you
