01743492000 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01743492000 👆 is reported as the official automated appointment reminder service for Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals, including Royal Shrewsbury and Princess Royal Hospital. The calls primarily manage NHS appointment confirmations by prompting recipients to press a key to confirm attendance. However, users frequently find the system frustrating due to very short ring times, no opportunity to leave messages, and inability to return calls as the number is for outgoing calls only. Some receive calls despite having no appointments, causing confusion and concern. While genuine and intended to reduce missed appointments, the automated nature and timing of calls can be disruptive, especially to older or disabled patients. Many suggest that text reminders might be a more efficient, less intrusive alternative. Overall, the number is safe but can be irritating or poorly executed.

I had a blood test done yestermorning and just missed a call from this number. Tried calling back and got an automated recording saying it was from the blood dept and they'd contact me if necessary, but there was no option to leave a voicemail. I was a bit anxious about my results and this didn’t ease my worries at all. Now I’m just waiting for another call. Leaving a message you can’t respond to isn’t really helpful.

Whenever my phone buzzes with a "possible spam" notification, I promptly hang up. However, I found myself reflecting on whether it might have been a call from Shrewsbury hospital, considering I had an appointment scheduled for the next week. To clear things up, I decided to ring the number using my landline, only to discover it was indeed an automated message from the hospital. I'm rather baffled as to why my phone flagged it as spam. From my perspective, this number is perfectly legitimate as long as you're aware of an upcoming appointment within a week.

The call came from what looked like Shrewsbury Hospital, but it was an automated voice telling me to call back using a reference number. Frustratingly, it only played the message once, and since I was out and about, I couldn’t jot down the callback number or the reference. There was no way to hear the message again. I’ve got one appointment scheduled and one more I’m waiting for, so now I’m not sure which it referred to. Proper confusing!

I’ve been on tenterhooks waiting for my hernia surgery, which has now been cancelled thrice over the past month and a half. On top of that, I’ve got a follow-up consultation for my prostate, but alas, I can’t get through - the line doesn’t accept incoming calls! If they’re sending out reminder calls for NHS appointments, they really need to sort things out, as my recent dealings with the NHS have been far from ideal.

It appears the NHS is considering getting rid of this service altogether. Honestly, it seems utterly pointless and is just money down the drain for the taxpayers. By the time you answer the call, it’s usually too late! Wouldn't it be more efficient to send a quick text instead? Or even simpler, people could just note the date from their appointment letter and pop it into their calendars or on a planner. This service is nothing short of a bother, if you ask me.

I received a brief 'half' ring from the phone, and despite being in arms reach, I had no chance to pick up! Based on previous encounters, I can tell this is the automated reminder system from Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. It seems to call at the most inconvenient hours, leaving everyone rather frazzled. I can't fathom why they don't simply shoot a text to your mobile asking you to confirm your appointment instead. It would make life so much simpler, wouldn't it?

Got a message saying "Outgoing calls only. Will contact me again." It was really irritating as I was knackered and trying to have a nap right in the same room, but got woken up twice. I reckon the first call came from this number since there was no voicemail left, and I was sat in a recliner that made it impossible to answer quickly. Thought it was a scammer at first. I've labelled it as harassment because honestly, I should be able to nod off on my recliner in the living room without being needlessly disturbed.

01743 4292000 has been ringing me constantly over the past couple of weeks, at all sorts of odd hours including early evenings. Whenever I pick up straight away, there’s no one there, just some kind of ringing noise. When I try calling back, the line says the number isn’t valid, which is really annoying. I can imagine this kind of thing might upset or irritate folks who’ve already had their fair share of nuisance calls before.

The NHS really ought to implement a more efficient phone system that doesn't just ring briefly, considering it can take a moment to actually answer the call. It’s rather frustrating when you attempt to call back, only to find out that the number is solely for outgoing communications. And let's not get started on the absurd hours these calls come in! I reached out to a department regarding an appointment I have in a few weeks, and when I brought up this number, their response was simply to disregard it. Just out of curiosity, how much is this system costing the NHS to run?

I’d recommend picking up the phone and following their prompts. It’s a legitimate call and primarily serves to remind you about your appointments with the NHS. They usually ask you to confirm some details using your keypad.

This telephone number belongs to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, and it serves the purpose of notifying individuals about their upcoming appointments. When you answer, you’ll hear an automated voice that will inquire if you are, say, “John Doe.” If you wait a moment, the system prompts you to press any button if that’s indeed your name. Afterward, it provides details about your appointment’s date and time, asking if you plan to show up. If you do, you’ll need to hit “1.” The system will then ask you to confirm this by repeating your response. This process is part of their effort to reduce the high number of missed appointments, which significantly drains the NHS’s resources!
