Our system uses pop-up windows as a necessary security function within the system. Your Anti-virus or Firewall software may contain pop-up blocking software, which may, as default, prevent you from logging on to the system. You will receive an error message if the system detects you are blocking pop-up windows.
In order to logon and use the system you will need to disable the pop-up blocking software when accessing our website or add our URL (*.healthcode.co.uk) to your exclusion listing. Please refer to your specific software guide or vendor for assistance.
