GP surgeries to close for education session

Doctors will be attending training

There won't be any routine GP appointments tomorrow afternoon (29 September).

Manx Care has confirmed doctors will be attending an education session from 1pm. 

Practices will stay open to make any future routine appointments, request test results or order repeat prescriptions.

For patients needing urgent care an on-call GP will be available until 6pm. 

However, residents are asked to phone their practice who will triage the call. 

The Manx Emergency Doctor Service will operate as usual in the evening.

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