Patients and their families are asked to be extra vigilant following reports about scam calls received from callers pretending to be from an NHS organisation in Preston. Two telephone numbers – 01772 789652 and 01772 429352 – have been making calls to patients asking for personal information and our Switchboard has confirmed that these are not legitimate telephone numbers. If you receive a call from either of these numbers, please do not engage with the caller or provide any personal information to the questions they ask. If you have any concerns or would like to check the legitimacy of any calls you receive, please contact the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals switchboard team on 01772 524555.
