Planned telephone system upgrade – Wednesday 3 June

We will be carrying out an essential upgrade to our telephone system on Wednesday 3 June, between 8pm and midnight.

During this planned work, our hospital’s main telephone system will be temporarily unavailable. Our main switchboard number (01342 414000) will be diverted to an alternative handset so that urgent calls can still be received. While the main system is down, we will not be able to transfer calls internally.

To ensure we continue to provide safe patient care, our clinical teams will have access to emergency mobile phones.

Patients who are staying with us during the evening will be informed in advance, and staff will be available as usual to support care and answer any questions.

We apologise for any inconvenience this temporary disruption may cause and thank you for your understanding while we carry out this important work to improve our systems.
