Important information for patients currently on hospital waiting listsThe NHS has been working hard to address the backlogs built up during the COVID pandemic. As part of these plans, the NHS will be proactively contacting patients who have been waiting a long time for NHS funded hospital treatment, to remind them of their right to request to move to an alternative hospital where they may be seen quicker. Patients who have been waiting 40 weeks or more can visit this website link below to request an alternative choice of hospital.

Please do not contact us for any information about secondary care appointments, we do not hold any information regarding a hospital appointment and waiting times. Please visit the website of the hospital you have been referred to directly if you wish to know anything about a hospital appointment and when you may be seen. The hospitals have asked us to share information which may be helpful whilst you are waiting to be seen by them. Support while you wait - Sussex Health & Care Partnership (sussexhealthandcare.uk)

There are national shortages across the whole country of a number of different medications. Our dispensary team work under the close supervision of our GPs to find a suitable alternative if your usual medication is not available. Sometimes you may be offered a prescription to take away to another chemist who may have their own supply of your particular item, but this is not within our control. We ask that you treat all our staff with respect and in a polite manner if you have any concerns with any of our services. Raised voices and rude behaviour will not be tolerated.
