Extended hours

We offer extended hours of service, which are aimed at people who are unable to attend the surgery during normal working hours, for example due to work commitments. We now offer nurse appointments as well as GP appointments during these hours. During these times the telephones are still transferred to the out of hours GP service, and the surgery is not open for routine enquiries.

When we're closed

In an EMERGENCY call 999.

Emergencies are situations that cannot be managed at home and may be life threatening

Less than urgent

If you need medical advice or to see a doctor call 111. There will be someone to provide you with advice and to direct you to a clinician if it is necessary.

Out of Hours

Outside normal surgery hours, calls to the surgery are dealt with initially via 111 and if needed then sent to IC24. Experienced nurses will take details of your problem and either give advice or put you in touch with an appropriate person which may be a doctor from IC24 or district nurse or social worker etc as needed.

You may be asked to attend an out-of-hours base where you can be seen by the GP on call. This is likely to be in the out-patient department at Eastbourne District General Hospital. It would help greatly if you could attend this centre if asked, as home visits are only appropriate to those such as the elderly and terminally ill who are physically unable to leave their home.

Use NHS 111 when it's a concern, but less urgent than 999.
