Hospitals cancel operations as NHS declares 'critical incident' after cyber attack | UK | News




Three hospitals have cancelled operations after a cyber attack.

Royal Brompton, Harefield, Guy's, St Thomas' & King's College Hospitals have all been affected.

A spokesman for King’s College Hospital in London confirmed it was affected by the cyber attack which is reported to have hit several NHS trusts in the capital.
The incident is thought to have occurred on Monday, meaning some departments could not connect to their main server.
In a letter to staff, King’s said the “major IT incident” was having a major impact on the delivery of services, with blood transfusions particularly affected.
Some procedures have been cancelled or redirected to other NHS providers, it said.
