Heart Hospital phone numbers changed 

From 8 May all phone numbers at the Heart Hospital have changed. This is part of a project to change all telephone numbers across UCLH.

• From 8 May 2011 the new Heart Hospital switchboard number is 020 3456 7898 (replacing 020 7573 8888)
• All existing four digit extensions at the Heart Hospital will change to five digits, by the addition of a 6 before the current extension.
• The external prefix to the Heart Hospital extension numbers will change to 020 345 followed by the new extension number.
• All Trust telephone numbers are changing between April and September 2011.

There are two main reasons for the change:

• To remove duplicate numbers, simplifying our full telephone numbers for people calling us from outside the Trust.
• To deal with the shortage of numbers and to give us capacity for new technology.

Example of new numbers

Current extension 3000 will become ext 63000 and direct dial will become 020 3456 3000.

Please note

There will be no change to the University College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust main switchboard number 0845 155 5000. There is a new alternative switchboard number 020 3456 7890. Callers are asked to please check their telephone provider charges before deciding which number will be cheaper to use because individual packages will vary. New telephone numbers will be on patient letters and our external website. You may hear a message about the change if you call an old number after this date.
