The Doctors and Nurses at the surgery would like to see anyone who is concerned distressed or disabled by their symptoms, but sometimes appointments are booked for patients who have a good idea of what their symptoms are, and some of these patients would benefit from a self-referral to physiotherapy, psychological therapy or lifestyle support without needing to see a Clinician first. So make a note of the self-referral options below and feel free to share them with friends or family in Sussex who you think might benefit.
