Book your care

It’s important to book your care early in your pregnancy. Many of the screening tests we offer need to be done before you are 13 weeks pregnant. Please visit the University Hospitals Sussex website to book

Community Nurses

The nurses care for patients in their own homes when they are too ill or frail to attend surgery. They also offer support to families and carers. They are experts in the field of wound care, leg ulcers and the care of the chronic and terminally ill. They are also happy to give advice on health matters and liaise with other agencies and services.

Please phone 01273 260034 between 08:00 and 09:30 and 14:30 and 16:30 to contact them or leave a message on their answerphone. To speak to a nurse urgently Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 16:30, call 01273 260010. At all other times, including bank holidays, call 01273 693600.
