**ATTENTION - NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM**

Between Friday 27th June 2025 and Friday 4th July 2025 Maghera Medical Centre will be changing clinical system. This will have a major impact and disruption to our normal services and we will therefore be working on an emergency/urgent capacity only.

These changes will affect services such as routine appointments (eg non urgent bloods / diagnostics / urine samples), requests for repeat and non urgent medicines and enquiries for records, sick lines and medical certificates.

We recommend that you use your local community pharmacy 'Pharmacy First' scheme if you have any illness/ailments which fit into their free service over this time to reduce pressure on the Practice and to ensure you get the care and treatment you require.

We apologise in advance for the disruption this may cause and we thank you for your support and understanding.
