Please be aware that NHS Birmingham & Solihull and NHS Black Country are currently experiencing IT disruption due to an ongoing Microsoft outage, which is also affecting other NHS organisations.
The disruption is primarily affecting email services, which means colleagues may be unable to send or receive emails, or you may experience delays in responses to messages.
We want to reassure patients and the public that NHS appointments are unaffected and will go ahead as planned.
If you have an appointment scheduled, please attend as normal unless you are contacted directly and advised otherwise.
Phone lines in GP practices and at pharmacies may be busier than normal.
The ICB is enacting its business continuity plans but should you need to get hold of a member of the team during this time, please call.
If you are unsure which number to call, please dial 0121 203 3300 or 0300 0120 281.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and ask for your patience while the issue is being resolved.
