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 flags a call as "possible spam," I usually just hang up straight away. But this time, I thought it might actually be from the hospital in Shrewsbury since I had a check-up booked for next week. I decided to call back using my landline, and it turned out to be an automated message from the hospital itself. I don't get why my phone marked it as spam. I'd say this number is fine as long as you're expecting an appointment soon.

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 got a hernia operation that's been called off three times over the past month and a half. Plus, I’m supposed to have a follow-up check for my prostate, but trying to get through is impossible since the line doesn't accept incoming calls. If this number's meant for NHS appointment reminders, it's doing a terrible job, which sadly matches my recent experience with the NHS in general.

Got a call saying it was a reminder for an appointment, asking me to press 1 for more details. I didn't press anything and instead phoned the Appointment Desk directly. They said it was a real automated message and not responding wouldn’t change the appointment. I told them the system feels a bit sketchy with all the spam and scam calls going around.

Honestly, the NHS should just get rid of this service. It seems like such a pointless waste of money that comes out of our taxes. Whenever the phone rings, you barely get a chance to answer it in time! They’d do much better to just send a text instead. Or even better, just note the appointment date from the first letter and put it on your calendar or diary. This whole thing is just a massive hassle.

It barely rings, just a quick half ring, and it's gone before I can grab the phone despite sitting right beside it! From what I’ve heard before, it’s one of those auto-calls from Royal Shrewsbury Hospital reminding about appointments. They ring at all sorts of random times, even late at night, which really worries people unnecessarily. Honestly, sending a text message to check if you’re coming would make way more sense than these short, annoying calls.

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 should use a better system because the calls only ring briefly, which isn’t enough time to answer properly. When I tried calling back, I found out the number only makes outgoing calls, which is pretty frustrating. Plus, the calls come at annoying times, like when I’m just about to sleep. I rang the department where I have an appointment soon and brought up this number, and they basically said to ignore it. I wonder how much money NHS wastes on a setup like this?
NHS

I'd say pick up the phone and go along with what they say, it's definitely not dodgy. The call is mostly to remind you about your NHS appointments and they ask you to press numbers to confirm different details. It's quite a straightforward process and nothing to worry about.

Couldn’t pick up. The voicemail said to press any button but I had no idea who it was so didnt bother. Might be a hospital reminder since Ive got a appointment, but that’s at Telford on Monday. Maybe they’ll call back or leave a message I can respond to.

I reckon this number is from Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, they use it to give folks a heads up about their appointments. When you pick up, after a moment an automated voice will check if you’re the right person by saying something like “is this Mr Fred Smith?” If it is, you just press any key. It then tells you the appointment’s date and time, and asks if you plan to go. If you say yes, you hit “1”, and then it double checks by asking you to press it again. They do this to cut down on people not showing up, which costs the NHS loads of money!
