Updating the Day Surgery Module

Update Day Surgery so you can complete your statutory reporting for the following financial year.

Updates for the module are usually released for the financial year changeover. Depending on what has been changed by the relevant reporting bodies, it is not normally a requirement that practices immediately swap over to the new version on the 1st July, as many Practices are still completing the previous year's reporting and have up to three months to complete the last month.

MedicalDirector Customer Service can assist Practices in updating to the latest version but it is ultimately the Practice that is responsible for ensuring that the users are on the correct version.

MedicalDirector tests each version before releasing to its clients, but users need to be aware that MedicalDirector does not create all datasets from scratch. Rather, these are obtained from authorised vendors and websites, and may contain errors that are beyond MedicalDirector's control.
