Norfolk GP surgeries replace websites after supplier administration

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Nov, 17:46 · Archive

Three Norfolk GP surgeries have launched new websites after Silicon Practice, their provider, entered administration on 27 October.

Three Norfolk GP surgeries have launched replacement websites after Silicon Practice, their provider, entered administration. West Pottergate Medical Practice, Parish Fields Practice in Diss and Watton Medical Practice went offline on 27 October when Schappit Ltd, which trades as Silicon Practice, filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators. The sites displayed a '502 Bad Gateway' error message.

West Pottergate Medical Practice told patients: 'Our website is down and we are unsure when it will return due to a technical issue. If you sent us an online form about an urgent problem, we may not have received it.'

The disruption affected fewer than 10 per cent of the practices that used Silicon Practice's services across the country. All three surgeries have now launched new replacement websites where patients can request medication and book appointments.
