Why might my GP be calling me?

[Cailleach]

My GP surgery tried calling me on my mobile about 7.30pm last night - they didn't leave a message. I haven't been to the doctors for over a year and have no outstanding tests results due, neither am I on any medications, not do I have any long term health issues that need monitoring.

Any ideas what they're after?

Wrong number or perhaps they are checking you haven’t moved out of the area?

Ok, ta.

Mine once phoned at random to ask if I smoked because they were updating their records.

Ring them back and check?

To remind you a smear or something is due?

Probably updating records or reminding you that you need a smear test/child needs a checkup or something like that.

I tried calling back but couldn't get through. Oh well, if it's important I'm sure they'll call back.

You haven't recently turned 40, have you? They invite you for a general health check when you hit 40.

I am 42 so have already had those tests but ty.

Maybe they called your number my mistake and were trying to get through to another patient with a similar name/number?
I’m sure if they needed to speak to you they would have left a message.
No harm in calling them in the morning to check I suppose, but I bet it was just a mistake.

My guess is wrong number. Just ring up and check this is the case.

Mine rang to book me in for a flu jab
