The Island’s GPs will meet together for an afternoon education session on Wednesday 17 June.

The quarterly education sessions bring GPs together to discuss developments in medical care and best practice, and to examine ways to enhance care for patients in the Isle of Man.

GP Practices across the Island will remain open during the afternoon for patients to visit the practice nurse, make future appointments, collect test results and order repeat prescriptions.

GPs will not be available for routine appointments. Urgent appointments and any urgent visits will be provided by locum GPs based at practices in Douglas, Peel and the South.  Anyone who needs to see a doctor urgently on the afternoon of 17 June should ring their GP Practice as normal.

The Department and the Island’s GPs are appreciative of the public’s support and understanding.
