Welcome to the website of Mile Oak Medical Centre

We are a GP Doctor's Surgery providing both NHS and private services and clinics to the residents of Mile Oak, Portslade, Hangleton, Fishersgate and parts of Shoreham-by-Sea in Sussex. Unlike most GP Practices we have a range of other specialist clinicians and clinics working together in our purpose-built building- we have health visitors, physiotherapists, midwives, audiologists, podiatrists, dermatologists, and various other clinics. This benefits our patients and improves communication between the various clinicians.

At Mile Oak Medical Centre, we are very proud of the service we provide to our registered patients. We aim to practice modern, high quality and innovative care in the friendly family-based tradition of Mile Oak. We strongly believe that all patients have a right to equal access to medical care.

We are currently accepting new patients - so if you are searching for a Doctor's Surgery to register with and live within our practice boundary then you are free to register with the practice. You can pop in to the surgery to get the registration documents or download the registration forms from this site.

We trust that this website will help you make the best use of all the services that we offer. Read more about Mile Oak Medical Centre here...

Out of Hours & NHS Direct to be replaced by NHS 111 on March 13th

The Out of Hours telephone number is changing in March. From 2pm on March 13th, when the surgery is closed, all patients should dial 111. All calls are free from landlines & mobile phones. NHS 111 is a national service going live in spring 2013. The service aims to make it easier for people to access healthcare services when they need medical help fast, but it's not a life-threatening situation.

NHS 111 will also be replacing the NHS Direct service which will close during March 2013 for Kent, Surrey and Sussex.  

Dr. Habgood retires

We are sorry that Dr Christine Habgood is taking early retirement from General Practice as of the beginning of December 2012. She sends her very best wishes to everyone.. It was simply not possible to say goodbye to each of you individually. Her patients will be looked after by Dr Abigail Fry.

Under 25?

We are currently promoting awareness of sexual health issues to our under 25s. We provide a drop-in service for advice and investigation for anyone (not just our registered patients!) under 25 at  the following times:

Monday 3:30 - 4:30pm & Thursday 4.00 - 5.00pm

We are handing out self-test kits for chlamydia at reception so if you would like to do this easy test yourself then just pop in anytime.

There is a useful video produced by Right Here Brighton and Hove which talks more generally about getting the most out of your GP, including confidentiality - click here
