DLM 380 - Early Release

IMPORTANT: In order for DLM 380 to install successfully, you must have PostgreSQL Database installed on your system. Practices using a managed server (ie VES/WES) do not need to do anything as INPS will look after this. For practices with their own server, if you have been contacted by helpline to run this installation please do so as soon as possible. If you have not yet been contacted, INPS will contact you with relevant information.
