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 InfirmaryEdinburgh4 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.4 monthsGot a call from a doc at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary trying to set up a surgery appointment.Edinburgh Royal Infirmary7 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 Edinburgh9 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!12 monthsI 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.

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.

It's advisable not to block it.Edinburgh Royal Infirmary5 yearsReceived a couple of calls from this number earlier today, but I opted not to pick up as I was swamped with work. Strangely, there were no voicemails left behind. A quick search on Google revealed it supposedly belongs to the Royal Edinburgh Infirmary. However, I don’t even reside in Scotland and have no scheduled visits with this hospital. This could potentially be a con artist trying to reel folks in, so I’d advise being cautious and only responding if you're absolutely sure you have an appointment lined up there.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 yearsYou've reached the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary! The reason for their call is to remind you about an appointment, especially with the rising costs related to no-shows! Please note, returning this call isn't possible. It operates independently from the clinics or wards. As a matter of confidentiality, they won’t leave a message since it’s crucial to protect your details from being overheard by others. For the same privacy reasons, a callback isn’t an option either.

When I try to ring them back, it just doesn't connect. If it’s indeed the Royal Infirmary, I can't fathom why they operate this way. It’s quite unsettling, particularly for those of us with loved ones in their care.

If I haven't set foot in that place for quite some time, I'm left wondering why they’d be giving me a call. Additionally, does this have any connection to the Western General Hospital in any shape or form?Royal InfirmaryWestern General Hospital9 yearsI received a call from this number at the unearthly hour of 5am on the 30th of December, 2017. I must admit, it genuinely startled me, as I feared it could be news of a family member falling ill or being rushed to hospital. When I attempted to return the call, I was met with a message stating they couldn't connect me. It’s utterly infuriating, especially as it disturbed my granddaughter’s sleep.

My mum was involved in a clinical trial, they wanted to follow up on how she was doing.Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh9 yearsI've received no fewer than five calls from this number over the past fortnight, targeting both my landlines and my mobile. Oddly enough, it refuses to accept incoming calls. Initially, I suspected it might be from the Royal Infirmary, but they haven't left any voicemail. Three of those calls came during the weekend, which makes me doubt it’s an office call. It’s quite unsettling, really; one can’t help but assume there’s a family member or friend who could be in hospital. Would it be too much to ask for a brief message instead of leaving us in the dark about who's reaching out?Royal Infirmary9 yearsGot a call from Royal Infirmary Edinburgh but the name showing was Mrs Garden. Bit odd!Royal InfirmaryofEdinburghGarden9 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.9 yearsThis number appears to be the one that pops up when you receive a call from the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Attempting to return the call is futile as it doesn't accept incoming calls. If you're concerned and decide to reach out to the main line, they’re unable to provide any information, which isn't ideal. It's quite a muddled system, leaving individuals anxious and questioning whether there's cause for concern. Interestingly, I've noticed over 5000 inquiries regarding this matter on various reverse lookup platforms.Edinburgh Royal Infirmary9 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!9 yearsI received two missed calls from this number while I was out and about.

It seems I can't even return the call!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 yearsReceived a call at the crack of dawn this morning, around half past six.

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