Afternoon GP Surgery Closure for Staff Training

Hertfordshire and West Essex ICS organise Protected Time for Learning (Staff training) which involves all clinical and non-clinical staff from our GP surgery. As a result, our GP surgery, and neighbouring GP surgeries in Rickmansworth and Chorleywood, will close for the afternoon (13:30 to 17:30) on the following dates:

Patients requiring urgent medical review during the closure may opt for the following options:

For Minor Injuries and Urgent Health Concerns (non-life threatening)

• Our local healthcare provider, Herts Urgent Care (HUC), will provide assistance to any patients who have an urgent medical problem while the practice is closed. Please call NHS 111.
  
• For minor medical conditions, patients may contact their local community pharmacy (NHS Pharmacy First).
  
• Attend an Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) such as
  Hemel Hempstead Hospital UTC
  Watford General Hospital UTC
  NHS 111 may make an appointment for you to attend your preferred UTC.
  Alternatively, you can also go to an UTC without an appointment and wait to be seen.
  
• Attend the Minor Injury Unit at Mount Vernon Hospital

For Serious Health Concerns or for Medical Emergencies that threaten your life and limb
Please attend Accident and Emergency (A&E).
Hospitals usually have a separate A&E area for children, sometimes called a Paediatric Emergency department.
