Welcome to the HealthFrame user community forum, NatureDude!
We have tried reproducing the problem you reported. We set our locale to the United Kingdom and set an event of type order with a date of November 27, 2008. It seems that the format is showing the way you would want, i.e. 27 November, 2008 for the long date format and 27/11/2008 for the short date format. (Please see attached image below).
Did we misunderstand where the problem was showing up? Does the example shown behave differently in your machine?
Thanks for using HealthFrame and Happy New Year!
