Another UK hospital has been hit by the Conficker worm.

"Computer systems at the West Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust were infected by the worm last Friday, leaving hospital staff unable to book appointments via computer," writes The Register's John Leyden. "The outbreak has been contained but some hospital IT systems remain unavailable, resulting in ongoing delays to patients and affecting the smooth running of the medical facility."

"It's unclear how the infection occurred at West Middlesex but recent UK public sector Conficker infections have been blamed on either infected USB drives or external laptops," Leyden writes.
