Patient Alert: Beware of Fraudulent Calls

We have been made aware of a scam where fraudsters impersonate medical professionals from our practice, claiming to be a "Senior Health Advisor." These callers engage patients in conversation about their health, build rapport, and then proceed to offer medication while requesting bank details.

Important Notice:

* The scammers have been reported using the phone number 01900 516 559, previously linked to fraudulent vehicle insurance calls.

* If you receive such a call, DO NOT provide any personal or financial information.

* Our practice will never ask for your bank details over the phone, under any circumstances.

What to do if you receive a suspicious call:

* Hang up immediately if the caller asks for financial information.

* Do not engage with the caller or provide any personal details.

* Inform our practice so we can alert other patients.

Your safety is our priority. Please stay vigilant and share this warning with friends and family.
Thank you for your cooperation.
