Bexhill Primary Care Network PCN

Primary care networks build on the core of current primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care. Clinicians describe this as a change from reactively providing appointments to proactively care for the people and communities they serve. Where emerging primary care networks are in place in parts of the country, there are clear benefits for patients and clinicians.

Dr Binodh Chathanath is the Clinical Director of the Bexhill PCN.

The GP Practices within the Bexhill PCN are; 

Collington Surgery

       Little Common & Old Town Surgery

       Pebsham Surgery

          Sidley Medical Practice

CARE NAVIGATION

SEE THE RIGHT PERSON FIRST

Our reception team are trained Care Navigators. This means they will ask you some questions about the reason for your appointment. This is so we can ensure you see the right person first. There are many services you can self-refer to which means you do not need a GP appointment, and you may be seen quicker. Please help us to help you by being patient with our receptionists whilst they try to deal with your query efficiently.

Visit the website for more information on local services available to you; or alternatively speak to our Receptionists who will be able to point you in the right direction.
