Surgery Closures
We have recently decided to join the rest of the Portsmouth practices and close the surgery on one Wednesday afternoon each month, to enable the whole practice team to attend training as part of an initiative which is organised/facilitated by the local NHS Trust. These training sessions are called TARGET sessions.
There are notices on the main entrance doors of the practice giving the dates affected and we will also be adding the dates for the closures to this website.
On these days we will be closing from 1pm and will not re-open the doors until 8:15am the following morning. The telephone lines will be opened at 08:00am each weekday morning.
There will of course be cover for any medical emergency which may arise. All you need to do to access this emergency cover service is to dial the usual surgery telephone number and a recorded message will advise you of what to do next.
Please only use this service if you have an urgent medical need which cannot wait until we reopen on Thursday morning.
Current Planned Closure Dates for TARGET training sessions:
November 23rd
January 25th 2012
February 22nd 2012
March 28th 2012
April 25th 2012
May 30th 2012
June 27th 2012
July 18th 2012
September 19th 2012
These dates may need to be revised due to unforeseen circumstances and will be updated as and when required. Notices will be placed in main reception and on the main doors of the practice closer to the dates to reminder all patients of the closure.
