urgent care or a local medical service
Looks like an NHS medical callback.
This is the number used when someone from doctors or hospitals in the Fylde coast area rings you back
Blackpool Victoria Hospital, a follow up call from urgent care to arrange a time to come in from a 111 call made by me
NHS. Rang back and a message says they will ring back. Looks legit.
This was the secretaries at my local GP, not a nuisance call, they're ringing to confirm where you wish to go for a referral.
An elderly relative received a call from this number and a female voice asked could the relative confirm their ethnicity as it was missing from the NHS records ! Unbelievable ! It would be useful to know whether the caller was actually blocking a phone line which would otherwise have been available for a patient to contact NHS .
It's the generic NHS number for hospital and other appointments, queries relating to Blackpool teaching hospital and allied NHS units. Messages aren't left because of confidential nature of such calls.
Keep getting text messages from this number NHS but my phone doesn’t ring when the calls come in. Tried to ring back but its just a message saying they’ll call again. Very frustrating.
Didn’t know who this number belonged to but i didn’t realise it is one of the extensions in my GP practice so all good
NHS. Weirdly I cannot call back???? Even more weirdly, it's from a doc surgery that isn't my own...... I presume it's for my 4th Jan for COVID. Yet, surely my own gp would call me? I haven't used 111, so I have absolutely no idea!
This is a safe number and it is one of two numbers used by the emergency doctor service for Blackpool and the Fylde. Based on two recent experiences , the doctors tend to call you back, after you have called 111 or possible other out of hours medical help, and therefore a call from this number is not something to cause concern.
NHS. Received call back from out of hours doctor after phoning 111
Blackpool hospital
