Dear primary care colleagues
We have been informed of a scam telephone call offering pendant alarm support to elderly people for £1.50 per day and asking for their bank details. They claim to have access to medical records and were nominated by their GP surgery due to their age and health condition. Instances have been reported in our area, as well as nationally.
Please alert patients by adding this information to practice boards/websites and other social media channels.
Kind regards,
