Information about global IT outage and effect on NHS services

Updated: Monday 22 July, 12:45pm

Following the global IT outage last Friday, systems are now back online, and patients with an NHS appointment this week should continue to attend unless told not to.

Thanks to the hard work of NHS staff throughout this incident, we are hoping to keep further disruption to a minimum, however there still may be some delays as services recover, particularly with GPs needing to rebook appointments, so please bear with us.

It’s important that patients attend appointments as normal unless told otherwise. You can contact your GP in the usual way, or use your local pharmacy, NHS 111 online or call 111 for urgent health advice.
