We’re aware of the ongoing Microsoft issues, which are currently affecting some of our internal systems.

However, there is currently no impact on our ability to hear from and respond to patients in need. 

Please continue to only call 999 in an emergency and use 111.nhs.uk or your pharmacy or GP for urgent health concerns.

An NHS spokesperson said:

“With the global Microsoft issue inevitably having a disruptive impact for staff, local NHS services are enacting long-standing measures to manage IT outages and ensure critical services and appointments can continue for patients today – including using other IT systems or paper records where possible.

“Patients should continue to use 999 in an emergency, and otherwise use 111, 111 online, or their local pharmacy, and come forward for appointments unless told otherwise.”
