TARGET provides: Time for Audit, Research, Governance, Education & Training for clinical and non-clinical staff.
On TARGET training days, Twyford Surgery and the Dispensary will close from 12.30pm. We will reopen as usual the next working day.
(please note, Twyford Pharmacy will be open as normal)
If you require medical advice while the practice is closed, please dial 111. In the event of a medical emergency that requires urgent care, please call 999.
This is a contractual, and regionally scheduled, monthly closure, alongside the other practices in our ‘PCN’ (local Primary Care Network); all Hampshire GP practices have an equivalent monthly closure.
Our next TARGET Training day is:
Tuesday 14th October 2025
Why is TARGET training important?
- It provides a coordinated, relevant, focused, and quality education programme.
- It improves the quality of patient care through updating of knowledge and skills, and sharing of good practice.
- It encourages teamwork in primary care.
- It can aid personal and professional development.
- It disseminates ICB strategic objectives.
- It provides an opportunity to respond to new technological and governance issues within health care and in the NHS.
- It provides time and some resources for individuals and practices to address their continuing professional development (CPD) needs and follow their Practice Development Plans (PDP).
