**** WARNING****

A scam has been brought to our attention where a patient of another practice in our area was telephoned by someone claiming to be their GP Surgery.

Thankfully, the patient realised that the number the scammer was calling from was a London number and didn't provide any personal details.

If you are in any doubt, please challenge our staff and we will be able to confirm that we are calling for a legitimate purpose.
