3rd December 2010 - Update on impact of snow on local NHS services

Update from East Sussex Community Health Services

Please be advised that we are maintaining local community health services as best we can in the face of the current adverse weather.
 
The Community Hospitals at Lewes, Uckfield, Crowborough, Bexhill and Rye are open as normal.
 
The Minor Injuries Units at Lewes, Uckfield and Crowborough are also operating as normal, from 8am to 8pm, every day of the week.
 
We are prioritising home visits to patients by our community nursing teams. 

 

Emergency Dental Service

The East Sussex Emergency Dental Service (EDS) will be operating emergency clinics in Hailsham (tel. 01323 449170) and Lewes (tel. 01273 486444) on Friday evening.  Telephone lines will be open from 6.30pm, with the clinics open from 7 - 9pm.

 

We are unable to offer the regular clinic at the Arthur Blackman Clinic in St Leonards on Friday after the building suffered water damage and heating problems.

 

All three clinics (Hailsham, Lewes and St Leonards) are expected to be open as usual over the weekend.  See the Dentists section under "Your Services" for more information.
