Island doctors are to meet under one roof for the first time to discuss how they can improve and enhance services offered at their surgeries and reduce hospital waiting lists.
The meeting next Wednesday (5 December) is a first for doctors and has been organised by the GP sub committee of the Isle of Man Medical Society.
Surgeries will remain open, appointments can be made and medical advice will be available from other health staff, although there may be some disruption to GP home visits.
Chairman of the GP sub committee Dr Alex Allinson says the meeting aims to be much more than a discussion about budgetary constraints:
Procedures at Noble's Hospital cancelled due to 'significant pressures'
Medical Society calls for 'statutory elected body' as chief exec exits Manx Care
Cope out: How did we get here?
Teresa Cope: Reaction as Manx Care CEO steps down
