Practice Educational Closure - WEDNESDAY 11th FEBRUARY 2026

The Rycote Practice will be closed for essential staff training and development on Wednesday 11th February from 13:00 hours. We will open again as normal at 07:30 on Thursday 12th February.

This Protected Time for Learning (PTL) allows all our staff protected time to be released for educational and training sessions. We endeavour to provide additional appointments prior to and directly after this closure to minimise impact on patients.

During this time an urgent service is provided by Buckinghamshire Urgent Care, the same organisation that provides Out of Hours cover when the surgery is closed at night and at weekends. If you call the surgery during a PTL afternoon you will receive a recorded message giving you the telephone number of the Out of Hours service.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused but we hope that patients understand that this is the most efficient and cost effective way of ensuring that our staff receive all the necessary training that they require.

Talking openly and honestly can be the first step towards better mental health for everyone. It can reduce stigma and help people feel comfortable enough to seek help when they need it.
