Airport works to get flights away despite global IT glitch
GPs, pharmacies and airports around the UK affectedpublished at 12:00
As we’ve previously reported, most GP practices in England, UK airports and pharmacies have been affected by the global outage.
The problems have also knocked some TV channels off air.
An NHS England spokesperson said: “The NHS is aware of a global IT outage and an issue with EMIS, an appointment and patient record system, which is causing disruption in the majority of GP practices.
“Patients should attend appointments unless told otherwise. Only contact your GP if it’s urgent, and otherwise please use 111 online or call 111.”
A spokesperson for the National Pharmacy Association said: “We’re aware that due to global IT outages that services in community pharmacies, including the accessing of prescriptions from GPs and medicine deliveries, are disrupted today.
“We urge patients to be patient whilst visiting their pharmacy.”
Alongside the issues at East Midlands Airport, the UK’s largest airport, Heathrow, said the outage was affecting “select systems”.
