NHS cyber attack update

We would like to assure customers that your RxWeb system is highly unlikely to be impacted by today’s ransomware attacks on NHS organisations due to its unique web-based technology.

While we will continue to monitor the situation closely, rest assured that RxWeb provides additional security to other windows-based PMR systems.

We would still remind you to be vigilant when opening emails or attachments from sources that are not familiar to you as you may have other systems running on your PCs/network that are open to attack.

Please contact our support team if you have any concerns, our team are here to help and advise you.

For further information and guidance in cyber security matters, please visit hscic.gov.uk
