NHS Hastings and Rother is the working name of Hastings and Rother Primary Care Trust (PCT).
If you live in the Hastings Borough or the Rother District or have a GP in the area, we are responsible for the health services you need.
These include services provided by your GP, dentist, optician and pharmacist at health centres and clinics, in local hospitals or in your home.
We also purchase other NHS services you need, including hospital treatment (either at the Conquest Hospitals in Hastings or further afield) and mental health and learning disability services.
We also make contributions to services from voluntary organisations such as Age Concern and Care for the Carers.
We are also fund services including district nurses, health visitors, school nurses and other professionals (such as physiotherapists) who provide services in patients' homes, community clinics, schools and other venues.
We are also responsible for sexual health, child protection and health promotion services.
NHS Hastings and Rother works closely with the neighbouring PCT, NHS East Sussex Downs and Weald, and the two organisations share one Chief Executive and Executive Directors.
Many of the corporate functions of the PCTs work across both organisations.
