Online Consultations

Engage consult allows patients and carers to connect with their GP practice and access services online from a PC, tablet or smartphone.

Patients and carers can access the engage consult application directly from the websites of participating GP practices to:

  • Get self-care information
  • Have an online consultation that involves answering simple questions about symptoms. a report is then sent to the GP, who can follow up with the best course of action, for example, seeing the patient, phoning with advice or giving a prescription.

Home visits

Please request home visits before 11.00am. All requests for home visits will be assessed by the duty doctor although we do visit housebound and terminally ill patients in their homes.

Evening and Weekend Appointments

A new service has been launched by South Downs Health and Care (SDHC) known as the Extended Access Service. The clinics are run by GP’s from the local area.

Appointments are available:
Monday to Friday from 18.30pm – 20.30pm
Saturday from 08.00am – 12.00pm
Sunday from 09.00am – 12.00pm

The clinics are held at 5 sites in East Sussex:

  • Park Practice Eastbourne
  • Harbour Medical Practice Eastbourne
  • Quintin Medical Centre Hailsham
  • Sea Road Surgery Bexhill
  • Old School Surgery Seaford

This is not a walk in service. Our patients must book an appointment by calling our appointment line. In order to book an appointment, permission must be given by you, to the clinician who sees you, to enable them to have access to your GP records. This is to ensure the highest safety and continuity possible. The reception staff will ask for your consent at the time of booking.
