Dear Brett
Welcome back to StSwithen’sI look forward to hearing about your adventures in the US
    I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went awayand you need to know about them before you can start work
    The main change is that we have had a new computer system installedYou 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 consultantGerryHe’s a really nice guy
    It’s especially important that you can use the patient records systemWe’ve had a few teething problemsand it seems complicated at first but when you get used to ityou’ll find it really helpfulFor exampleit’s much quicker than the old systemRemember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen？ Wellnow it’s very quick
    You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking systemso you can see who your next patient isThe new program makes it impossible to doublebook a patientso we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to
    As well as the computer systemwe’ve also installed a new electronic security doorYou will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two monthsI’m afraid we made Bill redundantIt’s a shame I used to enjoy talking to him every morning
    WellI hope you like the improvementsMost people find that it makes their work easier and fasterThere is one downside though the atmosphere has become less personalI used to talk to everyone a lotbut now we communicate by email most of the timeI even email people who work in the same room as me
    Wellsee you on MondayBrettNice to have you back
    Best wishes
    Simon
