Today’s widespread Microsoft outage will be adding to the pressures already facing NHS staff, including midwives and maternity support workers.
Our members work incredibly hard every day to provide safe care to women and babies, often in challenging circumstances. Disruptions to the IT systems they rely on can make that job even harder, particularly when it comes to communicating with colleagues and coordinating care.
We know staff will be doing everything they can to keep women and babies safe and it’s vital they’re given the support they need while these problems are resolved.
We want to thank all our members who are working through this disruption and continuing to do their very best for women, babies and families.
- The RCM is unable to access emails during this Microsoft global outage. You can continue to call RCM Connect on 0300 303 0444 as phone lines are working as normal but some systems are disrupted. We will aim support you in any way we can.
