Salisbury Hospital Telephone System Downtime - Wednesday 16th September

We have been notified that Salisbury Hospital will have a planned outage affecting all hospital telephony systems from 10.00pm on Wednesday 16th September.

To ensure the continued reliability and security of the telephone system, a scheduled upgrade will be carried out during this time. The telephony system must be taken out of service to allow the upgrade to be completed safely.

The upgrade is expected to take approximately 45 minutes. However, a maintenance window of up to 2 hours has been scheduled to allow sufficient time for testing and, if necessary, system recovery.

During the outage, the following services will be unavailable:

• Incoming and outgoing external calls
• Internal extension-to-extension calls
• Some paging functions

As a result, the hospital switchboard will be unable to transfer calls to departments during this period.

Thank you.
