NHS testing
On Monday 3 June Synnovis, a provider of lab services, was
the victim of a ransomware cyber attack.
This is having a significant impact on the delivery of
services at Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital
NHS Foundation Trusts and primary care services in south
east London and we apologise for the inconvenience this is
causing to patients and their families.
Emergency care continues to be available, so patients
should access services in the normal way by dialling 999 in
an emergency and otherwise using 111, and patients should
continue to attend appointments unless they are told
otherwise.
We will continue to provide updates for local patients and
the public about the impact on services and how they can
continue to get the care they need. The local NHS have set
up a webpage where the latest updates will be posted.

ask your practice team for the latest.
