NHS workers and patients on how cyber-attack has affected them
Officials have claimed in the wake of the global ransomware attack that patient care has been unaffected despite 45 NHS sites being hit. But hospitals across England and Scotland were forced to cancel routine procedures and divert emergency cases in the wake of the attack, which has shut down access to computers in almost 100 countries. I have been unable to look after patients properly. However much they pretend patient safety is unaffected – it's not true. At my hospital we are literally unable to do any X-rays, which are an essential component of emergency medicine.
