No routine GP appointments at three practices tomorrow

GPs from Ballasalla, Castletown and Southern Practices to attend training

Routine GP appointments will not be available at a number of practices tomorrow (15 May) to allow for training sessions to take place.

GPs from Ballasalla, Castletown and Southern Practices will be attending a Service Development Session from 12:30pm.

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

A GP service will be on-call to provide urgent care for patients registered at the various practices, operating from 12:30pm - 6pm.

Manx Care is reminding patients 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, where appropriate, provide access to the GPs on call for the afternoon. 

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

Anyone who thinks they have a life-threatening emergency should phone 999 and ask for an ambulance.
