Dear Brett,

Welcome back to St.Swithen’s.I look forward to hearing about your adventures in the US.

I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went away, and you need to know about them before you can start work.

The main change is that we have had a new computer system installed.You will need to be trained in using the system before you can see any patients! I’ve arranged for you to have a training session at 10 o’clock on Monday with our IT consultant, Gerry.He’s a really nice guy.

It’s especially important that you can use the patient records system.We’ve had a few teething problems, and it seems complicated at first;but when you get used to it, you’ll find it really helpful.For example, it’s much quicker than the old system.Remember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen？ Well, now it’s very quick.

You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking system, so you can see who your next patient is.The new program makes it impossible to double-book a patient, so we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to.

As well as the computer system, we’ve also installed a new electronic security door.You will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two months.I’m afraid we made Bill redundant.It’s a shame;I used to enjoy talking to him every morning.

Well, I hope you like the improvements.Most people find that it makes their work easier and faster.There is one downside though;the atmosphere has become less personal.I used to talk to everyone a lot, but now we communicate by email most of the time.I even email people who work in the same room as me!

Well, see you on Monday, Brett.Nice to have you back.

Best wishes,

Simon
