Unity Dress Rehearsal – what you need to know
September 6, 2018
During the week beginning Monday 17 September a number of clinical teams will take part in a dress rehearsal of Unity with the aim of identifying any issues ahead of go-live.
Seventeen areas have been identified to take part in the dress rehearsal – a number of briefings sessions will take place and details of these will be available on Connect.
