Surgery opens to public this week

A new medical centre in the west of the Isle of Man is opening its doors to patients for the first time.

The Peel Group Practice's new surgery will deal with urgent appointments only today (Monday), but will be fully operational tomorrow.

The Albany Road facility has space for six doctors and three nurses, who will care for more than 8,000 patients.
