Until recently I visited the doctors maybe once every three years. I don't know what's happened to…read moreme recently, but in my boyfriend's words, I seem to be 'permanently broken'! As I have visited the campus Health Centre at least once a week for the past couple of months, I feel I am in a perfect position to be reviewing their services! What can I say? The waiting room is nothing special...white plastic garden furniture isn't exactly the height of comfort and whilst I'm not normally one to comment on waiting room furnishings, the wait in this surgery can be long, so naturally, one begins to look around. In fact its a great place for people watching! This is an extremely busy place- it services many students as well as staff and faculty of the university. The staff are all lovely (except for one woman who is unfailingly rude) but they do tend to overrun quite seriously- I have at times, waited 45 minutes beyond my appointment time. I guess this is probably okay if you're a first year student with limited obligations (lets be honest!) but as a member of staff, I feel a bit guilty about popping off for over an hour just to pick up a prescription! That said, the benefit of appointments overrunning is that the staff really take their time with you- I have never been rushed out and have always been given the opportunity to discuss multiple issues- they'll give you as much time as you need. For this reason I'm giving four stars- because caring, professional staff who take a genuine interest in your health is what a doctors surgery should be all about! One star off for uncomfy plastic chairs.

Getting a GP at this health centre is a must if you're planning on living on Sussex University's…read morecampus for any long period of time. The staff are really friendly and there're loads of experienced nurses on hand to deal with your typical student dramas - they are particularly trained in areas like sexual health for example. The service is a bit slow as they run morning drop ins, which most people attend instead of booked appointments. Further to that, you'll see a nurse first who'll decide whether your problem merits needing to see a doctor. This is very annoying when you know it does, and means waiting twice, even if you have pre-booked your appointment with a doctor. That's my only qualm with the place though - the nurses are all really well-trained, warm and helpful.

Of course the doctors were well educated professionals with informative knowledge, well placed advice and a caring character-they don't just let anyone be a doctor you know. Apart from the medical side of the practice (which is assuring), the real treat comes way of the episodic feel to the waiting room. Although a place of ill health by its very nature, the comradery and jovial spirit around was surprisingly easy to become a part of.

The waiting area is not fancy but the dental room was VERY clean and looked modern with a tv (played the radio when I was there) and the dentist was very nice and had a calm manner. I have a bit of a phobia and was glad that I ended up there. I got a temporary filling and antibiotics for only £25! I was calling up places that charged between £50-£120. They are fancier looking clinics and do more procedures such as implants etc., which this practice does not but for emergencies, maintenance and check ups I would recommend them. To be honest I was a little apprehensive about the low price but it certainly does not mean that they skimp on service. I went to a clinic in Hove last time I needed to go to the dentist and was given antibiotics but did not get a temporary filling. I thought that I received great service.

The practitioner (I think his name was Chris) took a look at me and made another appointment for an extraction.

Sounds horrific but he really was an expert at distracting me during the whole process and I didn't feel any pain. He gave me an aftercare plan and I went on my merry, albeit dribbly way.
