Did you know that weekend, evening and bank holiday appointments with a GP, practice nurse or other health professional are available across East Sussex?

In addition to the previously available appointments, you can book in to be seen from 6:30pm to 8pm on weekdays with appointments also available on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.

Not only do these appointments make life easier for you, they also help to reduce pressure on urgent and emergency care services.

These improved access appointments may be at your GP surgery, another GP surgery in the local area or via telephone consultation. If your appointment isn’t at your usual surgery, the person you see will have access to your medical records if you give them permission, just like seeing a locum at your regular surgery. You will be asked before any of your information is accessed or shared.

You can get more information and book one of these appointments by calling or visiting the GP practice where you are registered during your surgery’s regular opening hours.

If you book an appointment and then need to cancel it please call your own GP surgery during normal opening hours to let them know so someone else can benefit from the appointment slot.
