The NHS has launched an urgent appeal for blood donors following a cyber attack that has affected some of London’s biggest hospitals.
A technology provider, Synnovis, had systems hacked on Monday affecting blood transfusion supplies.The cyber attack had a "major impact" on pathology services, particularly blood transfusions, as hospitals were unable to match patients' blood as quickly as they previously could.NHS Blood and Transplant is now urgently calling for all O-Positive and O-Negative donors to book appointments in one of London's 25 NHS donor centres.
"Please book an urgent appointment to give blood at one of our 25 town and city donor centres which currently have good appointment availability."We have availability for donors who know they are type O but we also welcome new donors who don't yet know their blood type."You might have one of these special types that can be used in emergencies.
