Phone number ☎️ 01942773198 👆 is reported as a legitimate NHS contact number primarily used by Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh hospitals for appointment confirmations, reminders, and occasional clinical follow-ups. While genuine, it often rings at inconvenient hours and may not leave messages, causing confusion and frustration, especially for those without current appointments. The number typically doesn’t accept incoming calls, limiting direct responses, which can raise concerns. Some users have received calls seemingly in error or with vague information, but most are related to hospital outpatient services. Despite occasional suspicions of scams, it is regarded as a safe healthcare contact, though improved communication practices - such as clearer messaging and return call options - would benefit recipients and reduce misunderstandings.
Reports on phone number 01942773198
3 monthsWatch out, everyone! They’re faking being from the NHS about hospital appointments. Don’t get tricked by this scam!4 monthsThis number rang my elderly mum and said it was the Wigan and Leigh NHS trust about some hospital appointments. When I called back, it was just an automated message saying who they were and that they’d get in touch again later.Wigan and Leigh NHS4 monthsI've gotten a couple of phone calls about a hospital appointment in Wigan for someone named Ian Sherman. That's not me and I don't live anywhere near Wigan. On top of that, Wigan Ford has rang me as well asking about him. Honestly, it feels like some kind of scam to me.WiganIan ShermanWigan Ford1 yearThat number belongs to Wigan Hospital, for sure.Wigan Hospital1 yearHospital in WiganWigan Hospital1 yearGot a call but they didn’t leave a voicemail. I don’t stay anywhere close to Wigan, so I’m doubtful this is really from a hospital. Feels like it could just be a spam call to me.Wigan1 yearGot a call on our office line from this number, but I’m not local and my job doesn’t operate around here. I picked up since it’s a work phone but they just ended the call straight away without saying who they were or giving any info. Quite odd.2 yearsHad a call about a hospital appointment today. sounded legit and felt safe enough to trust.2 yearsGot a phone call back from NHS 111 in the middle of the night, about an emergency appointment at the hospital to see a nurse or doctor at 1am.NHS 1112 yearsGot a call from this number at like 3:16 in the morning and it woke me up. The guy left a voicemail but it was so faint I couldn’t really catch everything he said. I think he mentioned something about "calling after hours" and said he’d ring back or something along those lines. It’s really weird because I’m based in the Scottish Highlands and I don’t have any appointments scheduled at all, no past or upcoming ones. Looks like they probably just got the wrong number.Scottish Highlands2 yearsI'm over in Scotland, so I don't get why someone from Wigan is ringing me! Seems a bit odd.WiganScotland2 yearsI got a call from this number once more. I kept answering with hello, and she did the same. In the end, she just ended the call!2 yearsMissed a call earlier, came up as Wigan and Leigh hospitals on my phone.WiganLeigh2 yearsDon't ignore this number! It's the hospital calling, sometimes it's your doctor with important news about your tests. I missed a call like this once while waiting ages for my test outcomes, and it was so frustrating! Keep an ear out for it, especially if you've been anxiously waiting for results!2 yearsI just had a call from 01942 773198 a short while back, but when I picked up, it was silent on the line. Quite bizarre, really!2 yearsI received a call from this number at 12:55 am on Sunday. I must say, that's quite an unsocial hour for a phone call!2 yearsI received a call from someone insisting that my husband had taken a tumble in the shower, refusing to hear that it simply wasn’t true. After that conversation, I decided it was best to block the number altogether.2 yearsGOT A CALL AT 3.44PM TODAY BUT THEY DIDN'T LEAVE ANY VOICEMAIL. SEEN SOME COMMENTS SAYIN IT'S A WIGAN NHS NUMBER, WHICH IS STRANGE BECAUSE I AM WAY UP IN CENTRAL SCOTLAND, NOT SURE WHY THEY'D BE RINGING ME HERE.Wigan NHSScotland2 yearsThis number rang me at about 2 in the morning, and someone named Rebecca dropped a voicemail saying they'd be ringing back soon and mentioned something about triage. Thing is, I don’t live anywhere near Wigan, nor do I have any hospital appointments. Calling that late is odd, maybe they dialled the wrong number by mistake? Reading the other posts here, it seems like if it’s a legit call, they often get the wrong numbers through. Really weird timing though.RebeccaWigan2 yearsGot a call from this number at like 2 in the morning, and some Rebecca left a message saying she’d ring back soon and mentioned something about triage. I don’t live anywhere near Wigan and never booked anything with any hospital there. It’s really odd to be called that late, maybe they dialled the wrong number? From what others have said, looks like they often end up calling wrong numbers even if it’s a legit place.RebeccaWigan2 yearsJust had a call from Leigh Infirmary to double check my appointment - legit and safe.Leigh Infirmary2 yearsI've got an appointment at the WWL hospital.WWL3 yearsGot a call about a hospital appointment today.3 yearsThis number belongs to Wigan NHS. They use it for lots of different NHS related matters around Wigan and nearby places. It’s definitely a real number, not some kind of scam.Wigan NHSWigan3 yearsThe NHS hospital number serves multiple purposes; it’s utilised for scheduling appointments and can even be referenced during calls from physicians and specialists. Rest assured, the number is secure.NHS3 yearsThis number is from Wigan Infirmary, definitely a legit one. It could be from any of their departments and it’s usually a good idea to pick up. I’ve had consultants ring me on it before to chat about appointments and stuff.Wigan Infirmary3 yearsGot a call from the hospital telling me that my mum had been admitted after she fell down.3 yearsReceived a call claiming to be from a hospital in Wigan, but I have no appointments there. Just blocked and got rid of it.Wigan3 yearsGot a proper call from a hospital in Wigan telling me my test results.Wigan3 yearsTried to answer the phone earlier but missed it, my answer machine picked up but no message was left. It’s so annoying not knowing who’s calling. Hopefully if it’s from the hospital, they’ll ring again.4 yearsThis is Wigan hospital trying to sort out an appointment. It’s legit. If you ring back, you’ll just get an answerphone saying they’ll keep ringing you. They’ll also leave you a message with a number to reach the appointments team.Wigan Infirmary4 yearsJust to clear things up, 01942 773198 belongs to Leigh Infirmary. They’ve been checking on my pregnancy, so that’s how I recognised it.Leigh Infirmary4 yearsHad a call from 01942 773198, but luckily I use a call blocker so instead of telling me who they were, they just ended the call. Very useful.4 yearsThis number calls me every morning around 10 but when I try to call back it dont go through! I’ve even told the police about it!4 yearsIn recent days, I’ve been inundated with a spate of silent calls on my home landline, coming from the digits 01159899732 and 01942 773198. Each time, the calls land on my answering machine, yet not a single message has been recorded. Quite puzzling, I must say!5 yearsGot a call from 01942773198, a woman with a foreign tone asked if this was IT. She sounded quite hesitant and unsure. Bit confusing because loads of folks say its from some hospital or something.5 yearsI've received five calls without any messages, all showing as NHS. I attempted to return the call using the number they left, but got the same response every time. It’s quite frustrating that they can’t specify which hospital or department is trying to reach me. After contacting Wigan and Leigh hospitals, I was informed it’s just a general number, and they had no clue what it was regarding. Feels like such a squandering of NHS resources, if you ask me!WiganLeighNHS5 yearsGot a call from Wrghtington Wigan and Leigh NHS but I reckon they dialled the wrong number cos I don’t have any appointments or anything booked with them right now.WrightingtonWiganLeigh NHS5 yearsThis is the Rheumatology team from NHS Wrightington Hospital. They called me for a scheduled phone appointment. I’m a patient there and can say for sure that this number is legit and trustworthy.NHS Wrightington Hospital6 yearsA bloke called Paul from the hospital rang me, asking for some woman I don’t know. After looking it up here, seems like it was just an honest error.Paul6 yearsThe number 01942 773198 is from Wrightington & Wigan NHS Hospitals for appointments, so it’s definitely legit.Wrightington & Wigan NHS Hospitals6 yearsGot an appointment at Wigan hospital.Wigan Hospital6 years01942773198 called my landline earlier today. The person said they were from some fracture clinic and asked if I was .s mum, then requested a current phone number for her. To be on the safe side, I told them I'd need to check with my daughter first. They said they’d ring again later. My daughter has no clue why anyone would be contacting me. No call so far and the call came through at 2:24pm.6 yearsI received a call from this number at 11 o'clock at night. Let's be honest, hospitals don’t typically contact you that late for appointment reminders.7 yearsThis is the NHS in Wigan, just their general info line. They ring to remind you about appointments, help to book appointments, and sometimes nurses or doctors might call to talk about your health. It’s a legit number. If you don’t answer the first time, they usually try calling back on a different day.NHS Wigan7 yearsgot a call from nhs wigan regarding an appointment todayNHSWigan7 yearsGot a call from someone in Wigan about a scan, but I’m in Durham so what’s the point? I don’t even require any scan. Absolute muppets. No surprise the NHS is all over the place.WiganDurhamNHS7 years01942 773198 rang me but the moment I picked up, they just dropped the call. Quite frustrating really.7 yearssounds like it might be coming from wigan hospital or somethingWigan7 yearsIf its from WWL nhs trust its always the same number showing no matter who from the trust actually rings you.WWL NHS Trust7 yearsGot a call from Wrightington Hospital just now, they were confirming my appointment for the orthopedic clinic next week.Wrightington Hospital7 yearsGot a call from Wigan hospital just checking on my appointment.Wigan Hospital7 yearsIt appears that this could potentially be a fraudulent operation.7 yearsWrightington Wigan & Leigh NHS Trust, usually this number is for Outpatients. It’s mainly an automated line, mostly from Wrightington and related to Orthopaedics stuff.Wrightington WiganLeigh NHSWrightington7 yearsThe number for Wrightington Hospital is mostly for outpatient bookings, so you can't really ring back on it. To the bloke from Scotland, just so you know, Wrightington is actually an International Joint Replacement Hospital. The lady next to my mother-in-law on the ward was from the Falklands, and I had someone from the Philippines next door to me too.Wrightington HospitalScotlandWrightingtonFalkland IslandsPhilippines8 yearsGot a call from a number claiming to be from the NHS about appointment confirmation. It was an automated message. Heads up - don’t ring the number back even if it looks like it’s local, because it actually racked up a premium rate charge for me. If they don’t reach you the first go, they’ll just try again later.NHS8 yearsI'm getting quite exasperated with this persistent automated message. It keeps popping up on both my mobile and my landline, all connected to NHS appointments. Just today, I received six calls! I do hope they manage to sort this out in the near future.8 yearsSAFE - It was a woman calling from the hospital to confirm which nearby hospital would be best for my next visit. Very polite and straightforward.8 yearsGot a call from the NHS about an appointment reminder.NHS8 yearsI reckon my number's been wrongly added to the NHS database. I’ve got no links to any hospitals in Wigan, I live quite far away. This number rings me loads of times a day, keeps going on for days straight, then stops for a bit before starting up again. Whenever I pick up, there’s never anyone on the line; it just cuts off. I called the main appointment line to ask them to remove my number, but they couldn’t find it - apparently they need the patient’s info to track and delete it! Great, so I’m just meant to keep getting these annoying calls for ages, then? Brilliant.Wigan8 yearsNope, they didn't pick up at all.8 yearsIt was a call from the NHS about an appointment or a check-up after recent treatment. Definitely a genuine number.NHS8 yearsThey rang twice but didnt leave any voicemail.9 yearsNHS, Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh Hospitals.WrightingtonWiganLeigh9 yearsHe said his name was Alan, claiming he was from Boston House in Wigan. He mentioned my wife had an eye operation a year ago (she didn’t), and when I pressed him about it, he admitted he was doing surveys for the NHS or something, and that he was working from home on his own landline. Then he tried to give me his mobile number but I refused it. If the number (01942 773198) really is his landline, maybe we could all ring him at once! Bet we could push the limits of those "COLD CALL LAWS" that way!AlanBoston HouseWiganNHS9 yearsGot a call from the NHS appointment team about booking a slot at Boston House in Wigan. Missed their initial call but they phoned again the following day.NHSBoston HouseWigan9 yearsIt's rather irritating that they don't bother leaving a message.9 yearsIn just an hour, I've received three calls from this number. I rang the hospital, but they’re completely in the dark about it. Given that the NHS experienced a cyber breach not too long ago, I can only assume it's yet another scam attempt.NHS9 yearsThis number calls three times, then goes silent. It's odd they don’t bother to leave a message!9 yearsWhat’s the reason behind this number being disconnected? It keeps bothering folks with its incessant ringing!9 yearsI dont get why a hospital from wigan would ring me up all the way over in Scotland? Makes no sense to me.WiganScotland9 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number rather frequently over the past week. Every time I answer, there's nothing but silence on the other end. It's becoming rather frustrating, to be honest. What on earth is going on?9 yearsHealth service callingThe National Health Service9 yearsThis number belongs to the Wrightington Wigan and Leigh NHS trust. You'll probably see it when different departments ring you, like to remind you about an appointment or to confirm something related to the trust. Sometimes specialist nurses or other teams might use it too. Don't worry, it's not some spam or scam call, just official stuff from the NHS.WrightingtonWiganLeigh NHS Trust9 yearsGot a call from Wigan hospital about collecting a relative but can’t get through when I try to call back.Wigan9 yearsGot a call from some appointment centre for Wigan & Leigh hospital.WiganLeigh Hospital10 yearsNo idea who it is, no voicemail or anything and keeps calling over and over.10 yearsI got a call from Wrightington Hospital about an appointment. You’re not allowed to ring them back, but they said they’ll give you another call later.Wrightington Hospital10 yearsWrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS rang me up with some details about my daughters operation.WrightingtonWiganLeigh NHS10 yearsIt sounds like a cold caller from some financial company.10 yearswrightington hospital close to wigan might not be able to call back but i can say for sure this is their number cos my partner who works there phoned me from it at homeWrightington HospitalWigan10 yearsit's wrighton clinic appointment lineWrighton Hospital10 yearsWeighing a ton, mate! Ozzy's really got that presence, doesn't he?Ozzy10 yearsCalled thinking it was the nhs booking line, but turned out to be something else. Beware, it was a bit confusing!10 yearsGot a call from nhs reminding me about an appointment. Proper helpful to get a nudge like that.11 yearsI picked up the phone straight away, but there was absolute silence on the other end. So, I thought it wise to dial back. To my surprise, I was met with a recorded message stating that the number only makes outgoing calls and cannot accept incoming ones. I noticed another user mentioned it might pertain to a hospital appointment, yet neither myself nor my husband have any such appointments lined up. It's utterly frustrating not being able to get in touch again.11 yearsI don't have any upcoming appointments at the hospital, so why do they keep calling me?11 yearsIt’s one of those calls givin’ you a nudge about a hospital appointment you might’ve forgotten.11 yearsGot a call about my NHS appointment, just a quick reminder.NHS11 yearsThis number gave me a bell just after I'd left the hospital on the same day! I attempted to return the call, but it was a total flop.11 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, and it's becoming rather tiresome. We've been at the hospital all week because my husband suffered a heart attack, and frankly, we could do without these bothersome interruptions. I've attempted to return the call, yet all I hear is a robotic message saying they don't accept incoming calls. It's absolutely infuriating! Why on earth can’t they leave a contact number or even a message? It would really help if someone could look into this for us.11 yearsI would appreciate it if they could return my call to my residential number. Thank you! - Wendy JeffreyWendy Jeffrey11 yearsThis number rang my home phone and left a message I couldn't really make out. While I was struggling to hear what was being said, a woman’s voice came on and said the person was okay, just a bit sleepy after surgery. I tried calling back but the number didn’t allow incoming calls - what a waste!11 yearsWhat’s the use of a phone number if you can’t ring them back? It’s baffling when no message is left, leaving us all guessing who the caller might be unless we resort to a quick online search. I can only imagine the amount of time and money that goes down the drain from these unanswered calls, not to mention the missed chances for appointments! Quite the nuisance, isn't it?11 yearsthis is a auto call from the hospital to verify your appointment times11 yearsGot a call from this number but no voicemail was left. When I rang back, an automated voice said the messaging service isn’t active. Really frustrating.11 yearsI got a call on my mobile from this number and a sharp-sounding woman wanted to speak to my husband. When I asked her who she was, she just said it was something personal and then ended the call.11 years01942 773198 has rung me up 4 times today, each time i pick up they just cut off. I tried calling back but it says they don’t take incoming calls. Strange behaviour.11 yearsNo clue, tried calling the number back but it wont pick up calls from me.11 yearsI discovered that the number relates to NHS appointments. The issue arises when you miss the call; it only rings three times, leaving you completely in the dark about its purpose. I turned to Google to identify the number and found out it’s linked to the NHS. I can't fathom why they don't leave a voicemail or why they don’t contact the landline. I ended up calling the number from my appointment letter just to make sure I would be attending.NHSGoogleSubmit Your Own Report (01942 773198)
