This document is intended to provide a policy framework for all changes to Trust IT, including the following:

• Infrastructure applications

• Clinical systems, except for Surrey Safe Care which is covered by a separate Change Process. Please note, changes made under this policy may affect Surrey Safe Care.
• Other software
• End user devices
• Network equipment and configuration (switches, routers, firewalls etc)
