Hi I'm looking for the Geographical number for my local Health Centre as they have recently decided to change to 08444778660 which I find disgraceful.  If anyone can help me find the number I'd be most grateful and will personally plaster the geographical number anywhere and everywhere i can grrr.. Angry

The Grange / Phoenix / Carlton Medical Practice
Allerton Health Centre
Bell Dean Road
Bradford
BD15 7NJ

Thanks!

PLEASE READ THE NOTES " ** PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A NUMBER REQUEST **"

They include:

"Make the title of the thread the organisation/company's name."

Putting a title of "Geog No Request" (which I initially read as the word 'NO', opposite of 'YES') in a forum entitled "Geographical Requests" is rather a statement of the obvious and does nothing to distinguish it from any other request.  Would you call your house "House"?

When Health Centres move to 08x, they either replace the geo number with a message, or cut it off; otherwise people would carry on using it. If there's an underlying geo number, it will be a different one that's never been in the public domain.

I suggest a Freedom of Information request to the practice. Alternatively, you can tell them that your phone service doesn't allow you to call 0844 numbers, or tell them you are going abroad and are worried about not being able to contact your doctor in case you are ill, etc. Finally, you could try contacting your MP, councillor, local newspaper, etc.

Incidentally, this number costs 5p/min at all times from BT lines.

The 'old' geographical numbers are still on the Bradford NHS' website here.
