Training Days (TARGET)

Training closure days are one half day a month, and take place on a Wednesday afternoon, except for August and December. This time is used for Audits, Research, Guidelines, Education, and Training.

The aim of TARGET is to provide a co-ordinated approach to the delivery of continued professional development for primary care staff and GP’s.

TARGET is a initiative originally established in November 2000, to provide protected learning time for GP’s and Practice employed staff across the whole district.

TARGET enables Practices to close for ten afternoons per year and on-call cover is provided by NHS111.

TARGET event topics are chosen following a consultation with all local primary care clinicians, nursing staff, and Practice Managers across the district.

The surgery will be closed from 12pm on the following dates in 2024.

  • Wednesday 21st February
