No doctor's appointments when GPs meet tomorrow

Mon, 09 Sep 2019

Routine GP appointments will be unavailable between 1pm - 6pm tomorrow afternoon.

It's due to GPs attending their latest quarterly education session.

The IOM Government advice is that anyone who needs to see a doctor urgently should ring their surgery for an appointment with the on-call GP.

Practices will remain open during the afternoon for patients to collect test results, make future appointments and order repeat prescriptions as normal.

The quarterly education sessions were established in 2012 to give GPs the opportunity to discuss developments in medical care and best practice, and to examine ways to enhance care for patients in the Isle of Man at a focused session away from their surgeries.
