GPs (doctors)

Your GP's (doctor's) surgery is the right choice for general medical advice and treatment, prescriptions, vaccinations and tests.

Anyone who urgently needs to see a doctor or other health professional should be able to do so as quickly as possible.

If you require more specialised care they will refer you to a specialist service or hospital.

If you are not registered with a GP practice, contact your local surgery:

Did you know?

General Practitioners (GPs), community pharmacists, dentists and optometrists are independent practitioners, which means that they enter into contracts with the local NHS commissioners to provide services, but are not directly employed by NHS West Sussex.
