What the ongoing Microsoft service disruption means for patients and the public accessing NHS services across Greater Manchester

Ongoing Microsoft service disruption

We are aware of the ongoing Microsoft service disruption, which is affecting digital systems and communications across a number of organisations.

NHS Greater Manchester is monitoring the situation closely and working with our local NHS partners to manage any potential impact on services across the region. Our priority remains ensuring people can continue to access the care and support they need.

What you need to know:

  • Appointments: Please attend any scheduled medical appointments as normal unless you are contacted and advised otherwise.
  • Contacting services: If you are experiencing difficulties accessing NHS services online, please contact the relevant service by telephone.
  • Urgent and emergency care: A&E departments across Greater Manchester remain open, though you may wait longer than normal for minor ailments. For quick, urgent medical advice on your symptoms, visit 111.nhs.uk, use the NHS App, or call NHS 111. In a life-threatening emergency, always call 999.

Our teams are working hard to help you despite the disruption. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank our colleagues, partners, patients, and the public for their patience, courtesy, and understanding.

We will provide further updates as appropriate.
