Please be aware IT will be carrying out essential maintenance to the Trust’s bleeps paging system on Saturday 27 November from approximately 7:30am to 9:30am. This is required so that we may carry out a planned controlled fail-over of the bleep system to allow our support vendor to ensure the system is working correctly following some recent issues.

From approximately 7:30am on Saturday 27 November, the Bleep system at all Trust sites and the Smart Phone Bleep App will be temporarily unavailable for approximately 60 minutes, colleagues are advised to utilise radios during this time. Please collect radios in advance on Saturday morning and kindly return them to the Security control room once the maintenance has completed.

The activity will be closely monitored, and desktop alerts will be issued from 5am to remind colleagues and at completion.

 This will affect all staff working on Saturday 27 November
