GPs to attend training on domestic violence

Routine GP appointments won't be available for an afternoon next month.

Manx Care has confirmed people won't be able to see the GP on Tuesday, December 7 between 1pm and 6pm.

It's while doctors attend the latest education session - this one is focused on Adult safeguard - exploring areas such as domestic violence and sexual assault.

Anyone who needs to see a doctor urgently is asked to phone 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.
