The new, fully updated guide to NHS services in the Eastbourne borough and Lewes and Wealden districts has been dropping through people's letterboxes in recent weeks.
The 16 page booklet, which is packed with information on improving your health, as well as details of local NHS services, has been delivered to every household across the area.
This year the guide to local services includes:
- Advice and information on coping with credit crunch stress
- Details of the new Eastbourne Station Health Centre, which offers a 'walk-in' service from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week
- Advice and information on patient rights and entitlements
- A full breakdown of where the money spent on local NHS services goes
- Details of how you can have your say on NHS services
The guide is being distributed to every home in the East Sussex Downs and Weald area, which is made up of the Eastbourne borough and the Lewes and Wealden districts.
It is also available online via www.esdw.nhs.uk/about-us/
Lisa Compton, director of Assurance and Engagement for NHS East Sussex Downs and Weald, said:
"The Local Guide to Services is full of useful information, from how to register with a GP, to how exactly we spend taxpayers money to provide local NHS services.
It also has some really great tips and information on staying healthy and improving your health.
People can use it as a quick reference guide to find the services, help and advice they and their family may need."
The guide is also available in other languages and formats upon request.
