The surgery at 175 Preston Road is a well established four partner practice serving a varied urban community.

Practice Area Our Practice area is bordered by Old Shoreham Road, Wish Road and The Drive.

Practice Area The doctors accept new patients who live within the area bounded by the seafront to the south, King George VI Avenue and Dyke Road Avenue to the north, Montpelier Road to the east and Sackville Road to the west. Patients living or moving within our old practice area may remain on our lists. The boundaries were: Preston Street/Queens Road/London Road to the east and Boundary Road to the West. Please let us know if you change address. We may need to contact you urgently. Every week we have problems contacting patients who have not kept us up to date with their address or telephone number.

Mile Oak Medical Centre is a beautiful new building, opened in 2005. A wide range of professionals work in the building, including health visitors, the Sussex Chronic Fatigue Service, CAMHS, Community Urology, Podiatry, Diabetic Retinopathy Screening.
The six GPs have wide experience of paediatrics, minor surgery, dermatology, systemic therapy, mental health, palliative care and women’s health. All members of the team participate in educational activities and form a really happy team. This is an eco-friendly, person-friendly team where our registrars feel really welcome.

Peacehaven is where the Sussex Downs meets the English Channel. The resulting cliffs are high, white and dramatic while the surrounding countryside is rolling and readily accessible. We were the fastest growing new town in the late '80s; community identity is finally emerging. Situated five miles east of Brighton the commuter flow is right for those who wish to live in Brighton but work away from the inner city. We have two trainers, and a building project to ensure that we are all comfortably accommodated in the near future, so this is an exciting time tocome and learn the art and skills of General Practice. The urban setting of Peacehaven seems to have more than its fair share of morbidity and we are busy enough to ensure that there are lots to see and do. There is a big emphasis on family and flexible working arrangements so that the doctors can also be husbands, wives and parents(!). The team is, of course, friendly and committed to providing an excellent learning environment, so do take the trouble to come and meet us!

The practice area covers Portslade, Mile Oak and Southwick and operates a walk in surgery every day to cover urgent and quick problems. It also offers appointments for more routine issues and telephone counselling at certain times of the day. The team is completed by two experienced practice nurses. The practice has recognition as a training practice as well as involvement with teaching medical students.

The practice is over 100 years old, and took up residence in the purpose built health centre in 1982, which it shares with the South Downs Health Trust. The practice aims to provide medical care for individuals and families in a traditional holistic way, whilst including the best of newer methods. The practice works as a team including practice nurses, midwives, health visitors, podiatrists, speech therapists, district nurses, receptionists, administrators and managers; all based at the Health Centre. The practice is committed to education and training of nurses, medical students and future general practitioners.

The Surgery is located in a spacious victorian building adjacent to Preston Park approximately two miles from the town centre.

We are a seven doctor practice in the town of Newhaven. We comprise of 4 full-time partners, 2 part-time partners and 1 part time salaried doctors.  We have been a training practice since 1987 and Deborah Sharp has been our current trainer since 2005. We have the space to accommodate up to 2 part time registrars in a dedicated registrar riim withthe usual facilities for videoing. We have four rooms for our nurses and nursing assistants and we are actively developing nurse led clinics and already have a nurse led minor illness clinic in place.  We are updating our telephone system and appointment booking procedure. Our premises were entirely  rebuilt and modernised in 2000.
 
 Our particular strength, we feel, is the strong mutually supportive relationship between all the doctors working here. Our out-of-hours is covered by the South East Health co-operative. Newhaven is a busy commercial port with other light industry. There has been a lot of development around the harbour in recent years. The practice area also covers most of Peacehaven. We have a national average elderly population, above average young families and some areas of urban deprivation.

Practice Manager, Mrs Sue Henderson. The practice boasts a wealth of clinical knowledge with partners specialising in anaesthetics, drug rehabilitation, diabetes and GU. It resides in the small town of Lewes, close to the railway station and offers the luxury of patient visits by bicycle!

The practice has an interest in sexual health and HIV/Aids, family planning and gynaecology.

Wish Park Surgery is a relatively small practice with only 5600 patients. The practice has a close working team which provides an ideal learning environment for trainees.  The Practice is located in Hove in an area highly populated with young families and elderly people. There are a large percentage of nursing and rest homes in the area and as a result the surgery offers a great opportunity for trainees to gain experience in managing medical complexity, working holistically and observing a wealth of clinical symptoms and signs under our supervision.  Dr Duncan Wells works closely in a partnership with Paul Evans and has a specialist interest in Dermatology.    Duncan is also a Clinical Supervisor so there are usually either 2 registrars in practice or a registrar and an FY2 doctor.  With teaching involvement from all of our clinical and non clinical staff we have found this provides a supportive and nurturing learning environment.  The practice itself has Hove seafront and the beach at the end of the road with views of the sea from some of the consulting room windows.

The surgery is located in an ideal location in Central Brighton just opposite Preston Park.  The surgery benefits from having a diabetic clinic and a community ENT clinic on site.  It also has a minor op's clinic and IUCD fitting.  The surgery also has a branch at the University and a small branch in East Brighton.  2 of the Partners currently run session at local private schools.
