01617202000 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01617202000 👆 is reported as a genuine NHS contact number primarily linked to North Manchester General Hospital and the wider Pennine Acute Trust including Fairfield, Rochdale, Oldham, and surrounding hospitals. Calls are mostly appointment reminders, follow-ups, or urgent patient-related communications often requiring prompt answers. Some users note no voicemail left and difficulty in returning calls, reflecting busy hospital lines rather than scams. However, isolated complaints about rude staff or wrong number dials exist. No evidence suggests fraud unless financial details are requested. Calls can appear at odd hours or to incorrect recipients due to data errors or misdialling. Overall, it is safe to answer but exercise caution; never disclose personal or bank information. If doubtful, verify through official hospital channels.

This is North Manchester General hospital calling. If they ring you, it’s usually because you already know what it’s about, like an appointment or something medical organised. Or maybe you’re listed as an emergency contact for someone in hospital. All in all, it’s a legit number, nothing dodgy or spammy.

Honestly, some folks are just as bad as the scammers trying to rip off vulnerable people. If you look through the comments here, you'll see what I mean. The issues with our NHS and overworked staff aren't just from governments passing the buck over the years, but also down to how some patients behave.

Classic behaviour from them, leaving you hanging and making you wonder what a hospital even wants with you! Why cant they just drop a message or send a letter instead. They've kept us at arm's length for ages, then suddenly want to see you and expect you to drop everything!

Got a call from this number saying potential fraud but no clue who it was. Looked it up here and looks like it might be from North Manchester General Hospital. One caller mentioned Fairfield though - I’ve got a scan at Fairfield hospital tonight, so I rang back but no answer. They called me while I was in the shower and I missed it, tried calling again but no luck. They didn’t leave a message like the NHS usually does, so I’m a bit lost. Tried ringing the MRI dept but the line was always busy.

Loads of people keep saying this number's legit and nothing to worry about, but honestly, I have no clue why they’re ringing me. It’s a Manchester number and I don’t live anywhere close to there. I’m healthy, don’t have any health issues or appointments, so no reason to be getting calls from hospitals or anything like that. Plus, none of my mates or family are linked to anything that would explain these calls either.

I hardly ever use my landline and never shared that number since it came with my internet package. So why did the hospital ring me on it? How did they even find the number? This feels like a GDPR breach for sure! Or maybe NHS workers have all this extra time to start phoning people at random?

This number rang me early in the morning and I missed the call. When I tried calling back, I got the same message as others - from the Pennine Acute Trust saying they’ll phone again later. Nobody ever says they actually get a call back though. Kind of unsettling early in the day. I’m not sure what it’s about - maybe some kind of vax follow-up or something, who knows. What’s odd is someone else who did pick up was asked for bank info - makes you wonder if it’s a scam pretending to be NHS?

this number is legit. they call you if you’re named as the next of kin or something like that on someone's hospital records when someone gets admitted. other times the patient might have passed on your number themselves. of course, sometimes they make mistakes and dial the wrong number or have old info.
