Development Sessions Pause Afternoon Appointments

GPs from Ballasalla, Castletown and Southern Practices will be attending a Service Development Session on the afternoon of September 1.

Due to this, there will be no routine appointments at Ballasalla, Castletown and Southern practices from 12:30pm.

All other practices will remain open as usual to make any future routine appointments, request test results or order repeat prescriptions.  

Urgent Care

There will be a GP service providing urgent care for patients registered with Ballasalla, Castletown and Southern practices, operating from 12:30pm until 6pm.

The Manx Emergency Doctor Service (MEDS) will operate as usual from 6pm.

Patients are reminded that it is not a drop-in service, and if they need to speak to a doctor about any urgent issues, they should phone their GP Practice, who will triage the call, and provide access to the GPs on call for the afternoon.

Anyone who thinks they have a life-threatening emergency should phone 999 and ask for the Ambulance Service.
