NHS Trusts cancelled over 6,000 appointments after Qilin cyber attack

The Qilin ransomware attack on Synnovis caused the cancellation of over a thousand appointments and several medical procedures each week across two central London NHS Trusts. The disruption continues over a month following the initial attack. The issue is starting to steady, with a reduction in the postponement numbers, however it is heavily impacting patients. The organisation is also working on restoring crucial services. They have reiterated the need for O-positive and O-negative blood donors, due to the disruption.
