BT big switch-off for Healthcare Practices

As the BT Big Switch Off looms, healthcare practices must ensure their phone systems are ready for the transition. Failure to proactively upgrade phone systems before the deadline in 2025 could lead to significant disruptions in communication for healthcare practices. Without a seamless transition to modern VoIP technology, practices might face downtime, compromised patient care, decreased operational efficiency, and potential loss of critical connections with patients and stakeholders. Not to mention the loss of revenue and the impacts on staff retention. Practices must act now to avoid these detrimental consequences and ensure uninterrupted communication channels post switch-off. 

This blog serves as a timely reminder to help healthcare professionals such as dentists, opticians and vets navigate this crucial change. Prepare your practice(s) now to avoid disruptions and ensure seamless communication in the future!
