GPs will be attending their next Education Session on the afternoon of the 29 September 2026.
GP practices will remain open to make any future routine appointments, request test results or order repeat prescriptions. Please note there will be no routine appointments at your practice from 1pm on Tuesday 29 September 2026.
There will be a GP service providing urgent care operating from 1pm until 6.00pm. Patients are reminded that it is not a drop-in service and if they need to speak to a doctor about any urgent issues, they should phone their GP Practice who will triage the call and provide access to the GPs on call for the afternoon. The Manx Emergency Doctor Service (MEDS) will operate as usual from 6pm.
Anyone who thinks they have a life- threatening emergency should phone 999 and ask for the Ambulance Service.
Members of the public are being encouraged to choose well and attend the health and care setting that is appropriate for their condition. For example, the Minor Injuries and Illnesses Unit based at Ramsey Cottage Hospital and Nobles Hospital can treat a broad range of conditions, Community Pharmacies operate the Minor Ailments Scheme, where you can access advice and guidance and medication for several conditions, and for minor eye conditions your local optician should be your first point of call. If it is something that they are unable to assist with, they will refer you to the most suitable service.
For dental emergencies patients can access their own dentist or, if you do not have a dentist currently, please phone +44 1624 642785.
