Doctors to attend education session on cancer services
Routine GP appointments will not be available on Wednesday afternoon (13 March) to allow for training sessions to take place.
The education session, taking place between 1pm and 6pm, will see the professionals collaborate with Primary Care and Cancer Services.
All surgeries will remain open throughout the day, but GPs will not be in their surgeries from 1pm.
Practices will remain open and available for patients to make future appointments, order repeat prescriptions and for any other enquiries.
Manx Care says provision has also been made for any patient who is in need of urgent GP attention to be seen by an on-call GP in a similar way to out of hours cover.
Any patient needing urgent attention should contact their usual GP practice in the first instance.
Each surgery has the ability to refer patients who need to be seen by a GP that day to one of the on-call GPs.
MEDS (Manx Emergency Doctor Service) will be available from 6pm until midnight.
Clinicians from a number of different Cancer sites along with the Cancer services team will be providing additional education and learning to the Island’s GPs, specifically relating to Cancer, with the hopes it will solidify their joint working relationship.
