Critical Incident: London Hospitals Cancel Operations Following Ransomware Incident at Synnovis

Posted on June 4, 2024 by Dissent

James Coker reports:

Leading London hospitals have been forced to cancel operations and divert emergency patients following a cyber-attack on a critical supplier.

The incident has affected Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts and primary care services in South East London, according to a statement from NHS England on June 4.

This follows a ransomware attack on Synnovis – a third-party provider of pathology services, including blood tests, swabs and bowel tests for the affected hospitals.

This has resulted a major impact on delivery of services, such as blood transfusions and test results.

A critical incident has been declared by Guy’s and St Thomas’ and King’s College Hospital, with The Independent reporting that staff have been told to prioritize urgent and emergency test results.
