I got an out-patient reminder call (i do have an apointment next week).
It new my name and asked me to press 1 to continue but didin't bother incase i ended up having to pay for the pleasure.
Looks like an NHS Stobhill number.

This is a general NHS Scotland switchboard number for outgoing calls only, I had calls from a department from the Forth Valley royal, and the same number came up when I received a call from the Queen Margaret Dunfermline. The person phoning me the first time was sensible enough to leave me a message to let me know who it was and gave me a number to phone back! It seems if anyone phones you from an NHS Scotland telephone it comes up as this (or a very similar) number.

Its a hospital number.  Not necessarily Glasgow as I attend Forth Valley Hospital and had a phone call this afternoon from the Dr I've been seeing

Its an NHS number! It can be you doctors surgery, hospital, they all come under that number.

Its a general NHS number in Scotland. If any hospital calls me or my doctors surgery to give results or change an appointment etc. this is the number that comes up. It costs more for them to call mobiles so would imagine they would choose a land line first. Maybe the call was for who ever had your new number before you. It doesn't take incoming calls.

This is a NIH Scotland number; it is to let you know that they have an appointment for you. Unfortunately you cannot call them back because the number does not accept incoming calls. You have to contact them some other way.

NHS scotland , call was from my occupational therapist

NHS Scotland

I got a phonecall from this number it was from my health centre wanting to know what school my wee boy has just started to update records !

I got called by this number today. I'm pretty sure its Ayrshire & Arran NHS calling.

It's the NHS reminding you of an appointment.

This number was my local surgery - it is a general number used by the NHS. Do not ignore, it is probably related to your health and therefore important ! Don't assume it is a call centre, as i did originally   :-)

Jeezz... why don't don't ppl just google the number before posting here? The first page alone is full of links indicating it is an NHS number.

This number Is a NHS number because my wee girl was in yorkhill and this number phoned me and my partner and when we went back up to the ward the ward staff said they phoned us and that is the number that came up

Hope this wee message helps everyone

It's the NHS .. It appears as 0800 678 3393
Or with held .. If u get a miss call I'd advise to call your health centre, I just did and foud out my doctor is wanting more blood took. So don't just ignore it :) xx

This number has called twice today and I have, of course, ignored it, presuming it to be some sort of Call centre. Out of curiosity, I typed the number in and up popped this forum. Thank goodness for this forum actually.  This first thing that springs to mind is that this is a totally unacceptable way for the NHS to be contacting people. As I'm sure most people will agree, we are constantly plagued with nuisance marketing calls - even with TPS - we don't seem to have much control over whether we get peace in our own homes from the menaces.
For the NHS to be using a generic number like this cannot possibly be for the benefit of the patient, as 9 times out of 10, it will be ignored, suspecting it to be a nuisance call.
Since I can't call it back, I shall have to wait and see if it calls again to answer it, that's if I'm actually near the phone when it happens. :-\
