GPs will get together tomorrow (Wednesday) to share experiences in responding to the Covid-19 health emergency and to hear from medics involved in reorganising and running services at Noble’s Hospital.

It will be part of the latest quarterly GP education session.

The session will also provide a forum for doctors to look ahead to any potential winter pressures and discus how they plan to respond.

Routine GP appointments will not be available from 1pm to 6pm tomorrow and 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.

The education sessions were established in 2012 to give GPs the opportunity to meet to discuss developments in medical care and best practice and to examine ways to enhance care for patients at a session away from their surgeries.
