Please note that we do not accept appointment bookings by surgery email.
We have received several emails sent by patients regarding booking an appointment. By doing this, there will be a significant delay in receiving a response from a member of our team and consequently the appointments for the day will have already been booked.
Please RING the surgery to book a GP telephone appointment - Little Common 01424 847575 or Old Town 01424 739420
Thank you
Please do NOT come to the surgery unless you have a booked appointment.
Please ensure you wear an adequate face covering if you attend the surgery; with the exception of children under 11 years old.

Bexhill Primary Care Network PCN
Primary care networks build on the core of current primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care. Clinicians describe this as a change from reactively providing appointments to proactively care for the people and communities they serve. Where emerging primary care networks are in place in parts of the country, there are clear benefits for patients and clinicians.

The GP Practices within the Bexhill PCN are;

NATIONAL WALKING MONTH MAY 2021
Walking is good for our minds, our bodies and our neighbourhoods and has been a lifeline during the past year, helping people stay active and connected. That’s why we want everyone to keep going and pledge to #WalkThisMay!
Let us know how many short journeys you plan to walk each week during National Walking Month (for the purpose of this pledge, we're counting a short walk as around one mile or 15-20 minutes).
We'll then show you how many miles you'll walk, how many calories you'll burn and how much CO2 you'll save across the month compared to if you were driving those trips.
We carried out research to find out what Brits have enjoyed most about walking more this past year. Walking was seen a great way to stay healthy, to meet friends and family in a safe and legal way, and to discover new places.
Lots of people plan to keep walking to maintain their physical health and mental wellbeing, with a third of people planning to keep the car at home to reduce their carbon footprint!

CARE NAVIGATION
SEE THE RIGHT PERSON FIRST
Our reception team are trained Care Navigators. This means they will ask you some questions about the reason for your appointment. This is so we can ensure you see the right person first. There are many services you can self-refer to which means you do not need a GP appointment, and you may be seen quicker. Please help us to help you by being patient with our receptionists whilst they try to deal with your query efficiently.
Visit the website for more information on local services available to you; or alternatively speak to our Receptionists who will be able to point you in the right direction.
