Afternoon Hospital Appointments Cancelled

Hospital appointments this morning will go ahead as planned, but this afternoon’s have been cancelled due to the oncoming snow.

Some appointments may be able to be carried out over the phone instead – you will be contacted to confirm if your appointment will be via telephone.

Manx Care has said that if you’re not contacted, assume your appointment has been cancelled.

Appointments planned to start or continue into the afternoon that are deemed as urgent will continue to take place, you will be contacted if this applies to you. For example, this will apply to anyone who is due to receive oncology treatment, haemodialysis or other urgent therapy. If you have any concerns about a planned appointment tomorrow, please contact the unit where you are due to receive the treatment via telephone (direct dial or via Manx Care switchboard 650000).

Any community-based appointments planned for the afternoon will be cancelled, with any urgent appointments to be moved to the morning – you will be contacted if this affects you.

All day services for Older People and those with Learning Disabilities will be closed. Anyone affected will be contacted.

If you have a GP appointment, this will go ahead unless you are contacted by your practice to change this. Please be reminded that the Manx Emergency Doctors Service (MEDS) is for emergencies – for anything routine, please contact your own GP practice at the next opportunity.
