Dear Patients,
We are aware that you have received a message from Vision Online Services stating that we have changed clinical systems and that we are no longer linked to patient services. We are switching to the NHS app but do not have a date for this change as of yet.
Please bear with us and continue to check the website for further details and information. Thank you for your understanding and patience at this time.
Kind Regards,
The Burdwood Team

Dear Patients,
We would like to let you know that we are changing our clinical system this summer. This involves a considerable amount of work. The clinical system is the computer system we use to hold patient information.
As you can imagine there is a rigorous process required to prepare the data, check the system, old and new in addition to all the staff training to ensure we are all up to speed by the time we go live.
We go live on August 20th so there may be some reduction in services that day.
From 13th August, we will have restricted access to the current system.
Please can we assure you that we are doing everything we can to minimise the impact to our patients and to allow as smooth a transition as possible but as with any kind of major change, we must anticipate that there will be some disruption so please bear with us and accept our apologies in advance.
We are terribly sorry for all this inconvenience and thank you for your co-operation. We do believe that the new system will be more efficient and effective for you as patients and for us as a practice. We hope that it will enable us to move forwards to the new ways of working for the future and to be better connected locally and nationally with NHS services
Kind Regards,
The Burdwood Team
