Single Domain Project has been paused whilst a number of issues from the first site deployments are resolved. We need and value your feedback in order that we can address concerns and ensure that the launch of the project going forward has addressed the issues highlighted to date. The Single Domain will deliver technology that is fit for the future and support surgeries with delivering of patient care.
Windows 10 has continued to
be rolled out across Primary Care sites as part of the Digital Roadmap. It is imperative that we move to updated
operating systems and realise the benefits of robust security tools as part of
the upgrade to protect surgeries from Cyber Attacks. Patching and updating is a requirement of day
to day technology and using Windows10 will allow end points to be managed more
effectively in the future.
HSCN Is your practice network slow? BT N3 is being replaced
by the Health & Social Care Network
(HSCN), which will give practices greater bandwidth. Engineers have started to
work on the Primary Care network estate and the first practices are planning to
migrate to the HSCN network in early Feb 2020.
We are aware that a number of practices are reporting slowness with
networks to Countywide IT Services. On
investigation, engineers have found that this is down to current networks being
maxed out due to the increase of online activity. Please continue to report these issues to the
Countywide IT services helpdesk to ensure lines can be checked for other faults
that might be causing slowness. HSCN
will resolve the capacity issues on networks, which is currently in deployment.
