Primary Care and Cancer Services will be collaborating on the GP education session taking place next Wednesday.
Routine GP appointments will not be available from 1pm to 6pm on 13 March to allow for the session to take place.
All GP surgeries will remain open throughout that day, however the GPs will not be in their surgeries from 1pm. Practices will remain open and available for patients to make future appointments, order repeat prescriptions and for any other enquiries.
Provision has been made for any patient who is in need of urgent GP attention to be seen by an on-call GP in a similar way to out of hours cover. Any patient needing urgent attention should contact their usual GP practice in the first instance. Each surgery has the ability to refer patients who need to be seen by a GP that day to one of the on-call GPs.
MEDS (Manx Emergency Doctor Service) will be available from 18:00 until midnight.
