📢 Patient Notice – Protected Learning Time (PLT)
Alba Woodstock Medical Practice will be closed from 12:00pm this afternoon to allow our team to take part in Protected Learning Time (PLT), as supported by NHS Lanarkshire.
PLT sessions provide dedicated time for all practice staff to take part in training and professional development, helping us keep our knowledge and skills up to date so we can continue to deliver safe, high-quality care for our patients.
⏰ Reopening: We will reopen as normal on the next working day.
🚨 If you need medical assistance while we are closed:
• Please contact the surgery and you will be redirected or NHS 24 on 111 for urgent care. Please note if your symptoms are non urgent, you will be advised to contact the surgery the next day.
• In a life-threatening emergency, dial 999
Thank you for your understanding and continued support 💙
