Commissioned by Sussex NHS Integrated Care Board, Here deliver additional primary care emergency services (APC) in collaboration with University Hospitals Sussex East (UHSxE) to people in Brighton and Hove. We have developed a flexible and dynamic service that supports people of all ages who need urgent care but are more suited to primary care than A&E, including patients who are unregistered or live out of the area. We do this through a mixture of telephone and face to face appointments based at the Royal Sussex County Hospital.
We aim to provide a positive journey by ensuring people seeking care see the right person, at the right time, in the right place. Our team of dedicated GPs and ANPs provide evening and weekend cover, 365 days a year, 7 days a week, including bank holidays, working hard to relieve the pressure on A&E.
The majority of our patients are assessed and treated within APC, with no need for emergency care at the hospital or further appointments with their own registered GPs.
If you are a patient who needs assistance, please call NHS111 to be referred to our service.
