Unsolicited call that has no connection to me whatsoever. I don’t know anyone who works here and have never used their services. Has my number been provided to them by some third part. GDPR action will be forthcoming if so. My friends and family know not to call me during working hours due to the sensitive nature of my work, but I still need to keep my phone turned on for emergency patients who may need to contact me urgently

Rang and hung up as soon as I answered. Next time it rang I let it go to voicemail, it was just a recorded "thank you" then it hung up
