Staff training, protected learning time (PLT)
The practice closes on 10 afternoons each year for protected learning time, allowing essential time to allow the whole practice to come together to discuss recent guidance, protocols and practice business.
It is also an opportunity for all the staff to undertake obligatory training such as fire safety, basic life support, data protection, etc. and for the clinicians to progress with their continued professional development.
The dates scheduled for 2024 are:
- Wednesday 10th July 2024
- Thursday 5th September 2024
- Tuesday 8th October 2024
- Wednesday 6th November 2024
- Thursday 5th December 2024
Both sites of the practice will be closed from 1pm to 4pm on these days and only emergency telephone calls will be taken during that time.
