The island’s GPs will meet for a training session on the afternoon of Wednesday, 17 June.
Although GPs will not be available for routine appointments, practices will remain open for patients to visit the practice nurse, make future appointments, collect test results and order repeat prescriptions.
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 June 17 should ring their GP practice as normal.
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.
The Department of Health and Social Care and the island’s GPs wish to record their appreciation of the public’s support and understanding.
