Patient Notice:

The surgery will be closed for training from 13.00 on Wednesday 12th November, and will re-open 08.30 on Thursday 13th.

But why do we close for training?

All GP Practices in Gateshead are given protected time in order for both clinical and non-clinical staff to attend vital training and updates. Training is organised centrally so that it includes all surgeries across Gateshead at the same time. Surgeries ensure that when planning routine appointments the half day protected training is taken into consideration. The disruption to patients is minimal. Closing the surgery ensures that all staff can attend these sessions.
