Well after the 12 week familiarisation period the day came to eventually go live. I have to admit to not sleeping well the night before but I got into work bright and early at 7:30am.
As a surgery that still works with an open morning surgery there was a queue of 2, an hour before opening. We had put posters up and messages on the door, prescriptions and web site that it would be an emergency only morning clinic.
So I approached them and explained that it was limited service and there could be a delay if the switchover had any problems. I could quite clearly see that one was really ill but the other one is a regular and turned and said ok it was nothing important I will come back next week. How ridiculous that someone would stand in the rain for an hour for nothing important. The other one I was kind to and let them sit in the waiting room.8
I was told to expect a couple of engineers as well as 2 floor walkers from EMIS to arrive about 8:00am.
