How to protect from ransomware?

Anyone seeing this BBC2 horizon program just on about NHS wannacry - what do you think?
Seemed to suggest NHS was using predominately windows 7 and many machines DID have the MS Eternal Blue patch
Did not stress the significance of patient zero and the yet unidentified NHS employer that let it in.
Although Eternal Blue was supposed to be a stolen NSA hacking tool, is the mechanism it used so innovative that strategy had not also been conceived elsewhere ?(maybe the code fingerprint was indisputably what came from NSA though)
..... turned over half way through - unnecessarily dramatic, with stupid dramatic music, and lack of clear factual content.

Anyone else also tired of this dam Barclays bank TV advertising about their anti-malware education/products ...
What are they seriously providing ? Seems like they are just exploiting the current zeitgeist
