The NHS is fighting on several fronts to recover from the impact of a crippling ransomware attack last week, issuing urgent appeals for blood donors and volunteers, according to reports.

Several London hospitals, including King’s College hospital and Guy’s and St Thomas’, were impacted by an attack on pathology service provider Synnovis last Monday.
