NHS Lothian Switchboard 0131 2421000 told me it’s tied to the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, although I couldn’t get the exact department.NHS LothianRoyal InfirmaryEdinburgh7 monthsThis number has rung me up about four times lately. I’ve been stuck at work each time so couldn’t answer, but they never bother to leave a voicemail, so I guess it’s nothing urgent.7 monthsGot a call from a doc at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary trying to set up a surgery appointment.Edinburgh Royal Infirmary10 monthsWaiting on a call from the Royal Edinburgh about my appointment, I noticed a call on my landline from an unknown number. I didn’t pick up and it went straight to voicemail, but there was no message left. Using 1471, I checked the number and then searched online, which suggested it might be genuine. I then rang back, only to get a message saying the number was temporarily out of service. Tried the mobile next, but there was just silence. I’m a bit confused now and still haven’t heard anything about my appointment.Royal Edinburgh12 monthsI received a call from my doctor on this number about a specific health matter, which we then talked about face-to-face. Definitely trust this number, it's completely legit!1 yearI was waiting for a ring from the RIE, ended up missing this number instead. Tried calling back but no luck, it just won't go through.

Someone was asking to order a curry but I kept saying they’d got the wrong number. Still, they kept insisting I should help them get a curry made. Since this is the hospital’s main reception line, there’s no way of telling who was behind it.2 yearsCalled from Royal Infirmary Edinburgh. Looks like a general switchboard, so might be anyone from their departments.Royal InfirmaryEdinburgh3 yearsMy missus rang me cos she’d forgot her phone at home.

It was the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh phoning me back.Royal InfirmaryEdinburgh3 yearsFor me, this was a legit missed call from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. I’d rung earlier to cancel an appointment and left a voicemail. These days, they do ring sometimes if you’re on a waiting list or if they need to cancel something last minute, since they don’t send letters as much now. Plus, if you’ve registered for NHS digital alerts, it depends how you set it up. But if you’re not waiting on any appointments, it’s best just to ignore, block or report any dodgy numbers, as loads of calls now come from automated systems!Edinburgh Royal Infirmary3 years🚫⚠️Im pretty sure this is a con. Edinburgh Royal Infirmary wouldnt ring out of nowhere, they always send letters about appointments first and then we ring them if the time doesnt suit.

They never left any voicemail which was odd. When I checked it on Google, it said the calls were from Royal Edinburgh Infirmary. I don’t even live close to Edinburgh and haven’t scheduled anything with that hospital. Feels like it might be some sort of scammer pretending to be from the hospital to trick people. I’d say don’t bother answering unless you’re absolutely sure you have a hospital appointment coming up.GoogleRoyal Edinburgh InfirmaryScotland5 years0131 242 7908 0131 242 7908 It’s from the children’s hospital in Edinburgh, sick kids.Children' s HospitalEdinburgh5 yearsThe early pregnancy unit at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh5 yearsRoyal Infirmary of EdinburghEdinburgh Royal InfirmaryScotland5 yearsSounds like it's coming from Royal Infirmary Edinburgh, but honestly, feels like a scammer pretending to be them.

Better be careful with calls like this.Edinburgh Royal Infirmary7 yearsIt’s a hospital number but they never pick up when you call. Quite frustrating!7 yearsI had the exact same issue, it’s connected to that government place, broom house in Edinburgh or maybe Waverley gate. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.Broom HouseEdinburghWaverley Gate7 yearsNHS place7 yearsYeh, this number is actually from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. They ring you up to give a heads up about an appointment you’ve got, mainly because they wanna stop people missing them with all the rising costs! You won’t be able to call back on this one as it’s handled by a different department than the wards or clinics. They don't leave voicemails either since appointments are private and they don’t want others overhearing them. That’s also why calling back isn’t an option. It’s genuinely the hospital reaching out, just trying to help prevent missed appointments!Edinburgh Royal Infirmary7 yearsI'd avoid answering calls from this number at all costs.7 yearsCalled from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, reception was sorting out a new date for my consultant appointment.Royal Infirmary ofEdinburgh8 yearsThe number 0131 242 7908 is for the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.

If this really is the Royal Infirmary, why's it so hard to get through? It’s really worrying, especially if you’ve got a family member in there. The Royal Infirmary definitely needs to fix this situation.Royal Infirmary8 yearsThis number is the usual one used when the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh rings ya.

Because if you haven’t been there in ages, why on earth would they be ringing you now? Also, does this have any connection with the Western General Hospital or what? It's all a bit confusing.Royal InfirmaryWestern General Hospital9 yearsThis number rang me at 5 in the bloody morning on 30/12/2017. I was proper scared, thinking it might be a family member or someone I know, maybe in some kind of emergency and rushed to hospital. When I tried calling it back, the line said it couldn’t connect me. I'm well annoyed, especially since it woke my granddaughter up from her sleep.9 yearsEdinburgh royal hospitalRoyal InfirmaryEdinburgh9 yearsCalled from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. My mum was involved in a clinical trial, they wanted to follow up on how she was doing.Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh9 yearsOver the past couple of weeks, I've gotten about five calls from this number on both my mobile and landlines. When I tried ringing back, it never went through. Initially, I assumed it could have been from the hospital, but nothing was said or left in a message. What's odd is that three of the calls came over the weekend, so I doubt it’s from any official office. It’s quite unsettling, as you start worrying someone close might be unwell. Honestly, they should leave just a quick note instead of keeping folks in the dark.Royal Infirmary9 yearsGot a call from Royal Infirmary Edinburgh but the name showing was Mrs Garden. Bit odd!Royal InfirmaryofEdinburghGarden10 yearsSneaky buggers, they even got past my BT Call Guardian. Thankfully, I wasn’t home and the answerphone kicked in - job done, no message left, just the phone down.10 yearsWhenever someone from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary phones, this number usually pops up. Calling it back is pointless since it won’t accept any incoming calls. If you feel concerned and ring the hospital’s main line, they won’t give you any info. It’s a pretty poor setup really, leaving folks unsure if they need to be anxious. I noticed over 5000 people have looked it up on reverse number sites already.Edinburgh Royal Infirmary10 yearsthis number rings about 4 or 5 times each week but no one ever talks when i answer. its getting a bit creepy now, no clue who it could be. would really appreciate some info pls!10 yearsSaw I had a couple missed calls from this number when we got back.

Does anyone know how to block it? It's really annoying!10 yearsIt's the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.Edinburgh Royal Infirmary10 yearsGot a call from a bloke claiming to be a senior doc at the Royal Infirmary. He asked about an injury I had a couple years back, things like if I was working then and how long it took to heal. The questions felt a bit off tho, like they sounded more like what a injury lawyer would ask rather than a doctor. It made me double-check the number. Not sure what to think about it, but that’s what went down with me.Royal Infirmary10 yearsGot a call from this number early this morning around 6.20. I didn’t pick up and just ended the call straight away, thinking it was one of those annoying PPI scam calls.10 yearsThis number keeps phoning me, sometimes twice a day.11 yearsroyal infirmary in edinburgh hospitalRoyal Infirmary of Edinburgh11 yearsI received a call from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. It was a doctor on the other end. We reckon that these types of calls can only be made from this specific number, as it doesn’t seem possible to dial out to it.Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh11 yearsI can't believe we've had this rather dim-witted girl ring us thrice asking for Linda.

Cheers!Lukasz11 yearsI received a call from the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. We were in touch with one of their doctors regarding this matter.

It’s very much a one-off situation!Royal Edinburgh Hospital11 yearsWe've been getting calls from this number incessantly for the past six weeks, almost on a daily basis. But here's the thing-every time we pick up, there's nothing but silence on the other end before the call gets abruptly cut off.
