Latest News - Appointments update & Dr Richardson resigns

Due to ongoing illness Dr Richardson has unfortunately had to take the decision to not to return to Steyning Health Centre. Dr Richardson's patients do not need to re register with another GP, as patients will now be registered with the practice rather than an individual doctor.

From April this year we will be making changes to the appointment system dividing appointments into “Routine” and “Express” types. Later this year we are also hoping to launch an on-line booking system for appointments followed by an on-line prescription request service.

For more information regarding Dr Richardson's resignation and changes to the appointment and patient registration system please open this newsletter (PDF file 50KB) that was sent to all our registered patients.
