   This is an NHS number ringing to confirm an appointment; I'm guessing that they are VERY fed up with non-attendees! I have received several automated calls from this number asking me to confirm my name and appointment time.

   This is the number for any call from NHS Scotland. The system cannot leave any messages as it would be a breach of patient confidentiality if anyone was to pick up the message.
   The number will not accept incoming calls.

   Fahid reported NHS Scotland with the number 08006783393 as trustworthy number

   I called my GP(Glasgow) who wasnt available at the time so I left my number with the receptionist requesting a call back. This was the number 08006783393 that was used for the call back I recieved.
   Makes sense that you can't call this number otherwise the GPs phone would keep going off while in his/her office seeing to patients.

   I have seen that this is supposed to be an NHS call but I don't stay in Glasgow, I am not waiting on an appointment and they called my business number not my house number, so I would avoid.

   My specialist called me from Raigmore Hospital, Inverness on this number. A very good idea as it still keeps your personal life confidential. I block all 08 numbers except 0800.

    Also getting missed calls from this number, I also have different medical referrals. When I have a missed call I will phone back but not possible when it does not accept incoming calls. Yes very frustrating, unhelpful and worrying.

    K918 reported NHS Scotland with the number 08006783393 as trustworthy number

    NHS number, have phoned me several times for various reasons. Seems to be an automated element, last year on Christmas day I received a call from this number, which nobody at the health centre could explain. Very unsettling at the time, however the voicemail message was clearly a robot voice. Sometimes it is a nurse or doctor who will be calling, it seems other times it is some kind of automated appointment service.

    NHS Scotland has been reported with number 08006783393 as trustworthy number

    This number come up for various outgoing calls from all of NHS Glasgow, no point calling this number back to ask who is looking for you as it connects to NHS switchboard who have no way of tracing who has been trying to contact you it may be appointments it may be any other member of staff from your hospital or gp service etc. Only thing you can do is answer the call when it rings otherwise you wont find out no need to worry or panic if they need to contact you they will always call back and reason the dont no leave voicemail is because of confidentially just incase the number they are calling is no longer used by person they are trying to contact

    Call came from my local NHS Health Centre and a doctor was following up with me after returning home from hospital. It was an important call and 100% trustworthy.
    My advice would be that if you “miss” the call then call your Health Centre wherever you are in Scotland and ask them why they called. It may be important!

    Just Me reported number 08006783393 as unknown

    Was a missed call. As people say it's NHS and I have had this kind of call before I think it is likely to be a reminder to have routine tests or scans. Sometimes they also call on a generic NHS number you to give you blood test results. It could be the nurse from the local health centre who took your blood or to remind you to get your blood pressure checked if you have failed to respond to a couple of reminders.

    Just Me Again replied 2017-10-13 16:55:54

    For information, they will want you to get the following health checks and may phone you if you neglect to get them done:
    Over 40: blood pressure
    Over 50: bowel screen
    Female over 50: breast scan
    Male over 50: blood test for prostate specific antigen

    Me Yet Again replied 2017-10-13 17:07:45

    And forgot to add:
    Female every 3 years: cervical smear test.
    All of above tests could be reminders to get them or else follow-up on results, sometimes because they didn't get a clear picture and may wish to repeat it.

    Have received calls from this number. These calls originated from hospitals in Fife. Looks like a common number used by NHS Scotland and you cannot call back.

    Wondering reported number 08006783393 as unknown

    I'm guessing it's trustworthy as other people are saying it's the NHS but I haven't been able to retrieve messages on my mobile since I set up a contract so I don't know what it's about. Probably health centre wanting me to come in for routine tests. Got a text saying a message had been left on a couple of occasions a few days apart but when I finally got access to my voicemail it said I had no messages so I don't know if they reached my voicemail without leaving a message or if they did leave a message but I tried to retrieve it too late. Finally after some searching online I found out how to access my voicemail so if they try to contact me again I'll be able to access my voicemail sooner and find out if they did leave a message.
