Extended Hours
Extended Hours Clinics for evening and weekend appointments:
We hold clinics outside of our usual working hours to improve accessibility for patients. We work alongside Buxted Medical Centre in order to be able to provide additional clinics each weekday and every Saturday. Patients from either surgery can book into the evening and Saturday clinics at either site.
Saturday morning surgery from 08:30am - 12:30pm is for pre-booked appointments only. This is not an emergency surgery. This clinic is alternated with Buxted Medical Centre.
Evening consultations - Monday to Friday 6.30pm - 8.00pm for pre-booked appointments only. The evening clinics are shared with Buxted Medical Centre. Appointments at Newick Health Centre will be Monday and Wednesday and at Buxted on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Evening nurse clinics - at Newick Health Centre we can now offer evening appointments with our Practice Nurses on a Monday and Wednesday evening , 6.30pm - 8pm.
Please contact reception for further information.
Home Visits
If possible please try to telephone reception before 10:30 if you require a home visit.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.
You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
Cancel an Appointment
It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient.
If you fail to notify the Practice that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. Persistent defaulters may be removed from our patient list.
You can also complete our appointment cancellation notification request form. This can only be used if your appointment has been arranged for more than 24 hours in advance (excluding weekends and public holidays). You can also text to cancel your appointment.
