Home Visits

We prefer to see patients in the Surgery for the simple reason of time and facilities. We can see five patients in the Surgery in the same time needed for one home visit, and the facilities, instruments, testing equipment, assistance etc... are all more readily available.

If your condition is such that you cannot attend the Surgery, please try and request a visit by 10.30am to help the doctors plan their working day.

Out of Hours

The Medical Centre premises are open from 8.00am until 6.30pm or whenever the last patient leaves, whichever is the later.

Between 6.30pm and 8.00am, and all weekend, your healthcare becomes the responsibility of Western Sussex Primary Care Trust. They have employed HARMONI to provide this service, and they can be contacted on:-

0300 130 1313

Emergency Surgeries in the evenings and weekends are to be held adjoining the A&E Department at St Richard's. These emergency surgeries, for which you must ring the above number beforehand to arrange an appointment time, are for urgent matters that cannot wait for your own surgery to re-open.
