GoKawiilMicrosoft outage disrupts NHS, police and pharmacy services across UK
A global Microsoft outage affecting Outlook, Teams and Copilot has disrupted UK services including the NHS, GP surgeries, police forces, schools and local councils. Microsoft said the disruption stemmed from unusually high stress on its servers and that services were gradually being restored, though some users continued to face problems. NHS England advised patients to keep attending appointments unless told otherwise, while some GP practices asked patients to call or visit in person rather than use online messaging.
