SCOONIE GETS NEW SYSTEM FROM 16 SEPTEMBER
Over the coming months, GP practices across Fife will transition to a new clinical IT system as part of a national programme to create a single, standardised GP system across Scotland.
For most patients, there will be little or no change to how they access GP services. However, during the period immediately before, during, and after their practice changes over, some temporary disruption may occur, including:
✅ Reduced appointment availability on specific days
✅ Changes to online services, such as appointment booking
✅ Delays in processing non-urgent requests
GP practices will remain open throughout the transition and will continue to provide care for patients who need urgent medical assistance.
You can help by:
✔️ Ordering repeat prescriptions in plenty of time
✔️ Attending appointments as planned unless advised otherwise
✔️ Ensuring your GP practice has up-to-date contact details
Information about when individual practices will move to the new system will be shared by GP practices directly and on our website.
