Reduced service at Medical Centre

Services will be reduced at Welshpool and Guilsfield medical centres from June 1-4 due to an overhaul of its computer hardware.

The practice has asked us to send a heads up to the area that for the four days there will be some disruption to its usual services available.

Practice Manager, Gaynor Maclennan said: “The Welshpool Medical Centre and the branch site at Guilsfield are having new hardware installed.

“The Welsh Assembly Government are keen to further promote the provision of integrated, safe and efficient health care services to the population of Wales, supported by clinically functional GP systems which inter-operate with national and third party applications and services via a managed, reliable and resilient IT infrastructure.

“Continuing to invest in our GP clinical system is a priority as it will allow all members of the Primary Health Care team at Welshpool together with professional colleagues from Powys Local Health Board to continue to provide high quality services to all of our patients, which are integrated and remain flexible to the needs of our patients.

“Our practice doors will remain open during the period, but due to having limited access to our old computer system we will be operating a reduced service.

“Normal service will resume from Friday June 5 and we apologise for any inconvenience this disruption may cause.
