Moving Day

Moving to Dairy Crest in a week!!
We will be moving on Friday 26th. Open for business Monday 29th.
That day will of course be a bit chaotic at Leatside.
We have a skeleton service planned for that day as we have to get everything moved.
The worst bits to move I think are the techie bits.
Our Toshiba phone system for example. We have had a bit of trouble getting a decent ISDN30 line into the new place, which actually put back our move by a week.
Rather than get a secure NHS Net broadband connection installed there we are using a wireless link from Dairy Crest back to the Surgery and leaving our server and major hardware there. Ingenious.
The paper records will be kept secure at the surgery as well, so if anyone needs the paper in the middle of a consultation we will have to send a runner!
Bob the bus will change route to accommodate our move.
There is some parking on the temporary site, but not a whole lot. We are hoping that the train commuters won't use all our spaces. We are preparing some of those lovely, very sticky "polite notices" to slap on their windscreens if they do. For cars leaving the surgery we think it might be best if as a routine everyone tuned left at the top of the road to head back into town, to then come back round the roundabout if needs be. Remember how difficult it used to be for the milk factory traffic to get out onto the lights?
Once we are moved in then all we can do is hope for fine weather this winter/spring so that Midas can crack on with getting the changes at the surgery done as quickly as possible.
