**PC for Patient Use**
We now have a computer in waiting room 2 available for patients to use to fill in triage requests and order their medication. The PC screen has a privacy filter on so you will only be able to see the screen when sat at the desk. The PC also resets itself after a period of inactivity meaning your data is always protected should you forget to log out. There will be staff available to help with using the PC if required - please ask at reception for assistance.
