Certain procedures have been postponed or redirected to other NHS facilities as London hospitals assess safe operational capacity. A spokesperson for King’s College Hospital has confirmed the impact of the cyber attack. The incident is believed to have transpired on Monday, resulting in connectivity issues with the main server for some departments. According to the Health Service Journal (HSJ), multiple credible sources indicate that the system fell victim to a ransomware attack. One source mentioned that obtaining pathology results could be delayed significantly, possibly taking “weeks, not days.” Concerns arise regarding the potential impact on urgent and emergency care due to the inability to access timely blood test results.
