Everyone within GP Practices are committed to giving patients the best possible care and as part of this, GP Practices may take part in a number of PLT sessions throughout the year which allows them to carry out staff training for the whole practice team.
Some GP Practices in Ayrshire and Arran have chosen to participate in Protected Learning Time (PLT) training during June 2024.
Only those Practices mentioned under each date will be participating in PLT. All other GP Practices will remain open and patients should contact their practice in the normal way.
During these afternoons the Ayrshire Urgent Care Service will provide urgent care and support to patients of practices which are closed. Information on how to access advice from a GP will be made available on the participating GP Practices telephone messaging systems, practice websites and notices on the practice doors.
Patients or Community Pharmacies who require to contact a participating GP Practice urgently during the time they are closed for PLT should call the Ayrshire Urgent Care Service on 01563 826930.
