I have found the team at BHWC to be fantastic - yes it can be a bit of a wait if you want to book an appointment in advance, however if you call at 8.30 in the morning you can be seen the same day. The drs and nurses here are very understanding and are open to not necessarily always taking a medicinal approach to any issues or ailments - this isn't to say they are a bunch of hippies! But they look at every option. I have to say I'm very pleased so far.

The two Doctors I've seen - Dr. Cramp and Dr. Roderic-Evans - are warm, friendly and completely patient-led. You can make appointments with them and the nurses in advance but they also have 10-15 same day appointments. To book one of those, you just phone up at 8.30am and keep ringing til you get through.

This is my GP surgery and I have been attending here for more than a decade, have had a number of…read moredoctors, and have not yet had any cause for complaint. It's in this fairly affulent area and has a generally genteel user profile and thus is quite a pleasant place to attend. One word of warning: it's in an old Victorian building. If you have mobility issues and need help with acessibility, you'd be wise to choose a practice with a more modern facilities.

I chose this doctors simply because of it's close proximity to my previous flat and have never…read morefound myself moving on. Over the 3-4 years I've been in Brighton I have actually found myself there a fair bit, for routine appointments or more serious things, and I've had a range of experiences during my time there. The surgery itself is well laid out, comfortable and clean. The reception staff are helpful and generally pleasant, despite being very busy with the constantly ringing phones. There is an upstairs and downstairs waiting area, both of which are comfy enough. As you come into the surgery, you can check yourself in for your pre-booked appointment on the machine on the wall (under the stairs). This usually functions fine and is a smooth and easy way of letting the doctor or nurse know you're there. It also directs you to which seating area you should be waiting in, either upstairs or downstairs, so there's no confusion. The nurses I've seen here have all been wonderful. Very nice, very patient and not patronising at all. The doctors, on the other hand, are a bit of a mixed bag. I've seen a few that are a little abrupt and slightly condescending. I understand that they must have a lot of time wasters and hypochondriacs coming in (as with any doctors surgery) but it's never nice to be made to feel foolish for booking an appointment. That being said, I was once really rather ill here and I found myself getting a taxi straight from the surgery to A and E. On this visit, the staff (including the doctor) were all very attentive and not patronising in the slightest (perhaps because of my serious condition). They got me water and sent me with a handwritten letter explaining what was wrong - all very kind and professional. Since this incident I have always been treated very well in here, again perhaps because they can see from my files that I'm worth taking seriously. In terms of booking appointments, this is relatively straight-forward to do over the phone and there are usually slot available pretty quickly, especially if you express that it's an urgent thing. The appointments are also pretty on time which, as anyone who's ever been to a doctors surgery knows, can be a bit of a rarity! All in all, I like this practice. I might look at others closer to my new flat, yes, but for now, I am more than happy to stick with Albion Street Surgery. They may not be the most perfect doctors surgery in the world, but they're certainly not the worst and I'd say they were doing a pretty good job of things.

I used to be registered with this surgery until a few years ago when I moved away from Brighton…read more After returning here I registered with a another surgery because I was told that I lived outside the catchment area of the Park Crescent Surgery. I was not happy with the treatment (probably because the doctor was not trained to deal with the kind of issues I came there for) and found out that I could register with a surgery outside my area if I found that they were more sympathetic. I was very happy as I found out that the Park Crescent Surgery accepted new patients and were happy to re-register me there, even if it is a longer walk for me. The staff are always friendly and it is easy to tell that they enjoy their job (other than some pretty sour or 'pretend-friendly' receptionists which I have encountered at other surgeries). Most of my praise has to go to Dr. Lipscombe though, who not only always has an open ear for all my issues, but is also the most friendly GP whom I have ever come across and she always spares some compliments which brighten up my otherwise often grim days. She is a strong supporter of transgender rights and an expert in that field so I can't recommend her enough to anyone with gender issues, although I am not sure whether she is taking new patients as she now only works Mondays and Wednesdays. However I have also found the other doctors at this surgery to be very competent so it is worth registering there anyway (and don't forget that the staff are incredibly firendly too - it does make a huge difference!).

Having lived in London for three years before moving South, I don't think I saw the same doctor more than once and getting an appointment was always a massive hassle - either having to book two weeks in advance or having to wait around in the surgery all morning to be seen. But Beaconsfield medical practice seem to have all these problems sorted. You can ring in the morning and get an appointment for that day, at a set time, and you are nearly always promptly seen. I had an allocated doctor who I have seen on nearly every visit (unfortunately, she is now off on maternity leave, but hey I can't really complain!). You can even book and order repeat prescriptions on line which saves a lot of time and hassle. Plus, the receptionists are always polite and have a smile for the customers (yes, I know, I nearly fainted...!) Downstairs there is a pharmacy so you can pick up prescriptions immediately, ideal for the elderly or less mobile patients, and they even offer a free delivery service should you require it. Its nice to find a service that takes the hassle out of life when you need it.

My first round was okay but I found everything the therapist said to be very surface level almost pop psychology and incredibly patronising as well as invalidating almost everything I said. Looking back I was incredibly vulnerable and they were irresponsible. My newer therapist forgot everything I had told her and each session I had to go over everything again like it was our first time meeting. She was surprised each time when I told her information about my life and also misunderstood almost everything I said. I almost had the feeling she may be suffering with a memory disorder. Surprisingly she also had no concept of other gender identities despite this being Brighton and her advertising her understanding of LGBT issues. She could not grasp the concept of a non binary person even after me explaining it every session and then went on to use the wrong pro nouns anyway.
