Disruption to routine GP appointments on 27 June

Sessions between 1-6pm will be affected

Routine GP appointments will be disrupted next week.

Appointments will not be available from 1-6pm on Tuesday (27 June).

It's to allow for GPs to attend their latest session on the transformation of Primary Care Services.

The public has been given alternative options for emergencies. 

The Minor Injuries and Illnesses Unit in Ramsey can treat a broad range of conditions, community pharmacies operate the Minor Ailments Scheme and some eye conditions can be treated under the Minor Eye Conditions Scheme (MECS) which is currently provided by Specsavers. 

For dental emergencies patients can access their own dentist or, if you do not have a dentist currently, you can contact the Community Dental Service.  

There are also a number of options for mental health support. You can find out more about all of these options here.

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.
