The latest training session for Island GPs takes place on Friday 6 March and as usual it means routine appointments will not be available at most surgeries from late morning for the rest of the day.
Anyone who needs to see a doctor urgently should ring their surgery for an appointment with the on-call GP, although patients are advised that the appointment may not be at their own practice.
Practices will remain open during the afternoon for patients to collect test results, make future appointments and order repeat prescriptions as normal.
Several GPs may be in their surgeries as usual on Friday, as on this occasion not all are attending the session, but at most practices family doctors will be away from 11.30am until 6pm.
