On the afternoon of Thursday 24th September, GP practices across Sandwell will be closed for training purposes.

It’s really important that we keep our clinical and non-clinical teams up to date with the latest guidance and training so that they can continue to offer the best care to our patients.

Therefore all YHP practices will close at 12:00 noon and re-open on Friday 25th October at 8:00am.

Please note that the extended hours clinic held at Oakham Surgery will take place as usual between 6:30pm – 8:00pm.

If you need medical advice that cannot wait until we re-open at 8:00am on Friday morning, please contact NHS 111 who will direct you to the best medical care for you.
