Surgery Closure PLT 12th May

A reminder that all our surgeries will be closed from 1pm on Tuesday 12th May, and our acute walk-in clinic will also be closed for the whole day.

This is due to the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Staff Training on Learning Disability and Autism.

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is named after Oliver McGowan, whose death shone a light on the need for health and social care staff to have better training. The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a statutory requirement that CQC-registered providers must ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role.

Oliver’s Training also supports the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan ambition by upskilling the wider health and care workforce to provide appropriately adjusted care for people with a learning disability and autistic people to reduce health inequality.
