Dear All,
Please see the below message from Moorfields SPARC.
Kind regards,
East London & City LOC
Dear colleague
You may be aware of a Microsoft Outlook outage, which has been affecting services worldwide since approximately 6.00pm yesterday evening.
As a result:
* all Email referrals are currently affected – you will be unable to send emailed referrals until the issue is resolved.
* OPERA referrals are unaffected and can continue as normal.
SPARC, hosted by Moorfields, will keep us updated as further information becomes available.
Once the system is restored, SPARC will undertake a failsafe check of their inbox to identify any referrals sent after 6.00pm yesterday that may not have been received. These may need to be resent.
In the meantime, please continue to use Opera for referrals if possible. If an email referral is urgent, please use an appropriate alternative route to ensure the patient is not delayed. If necessary please call ahead.
We will circulate further updates as soon as we receive them.
