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.

Next time I go to the Royal Sussex, I'm planning to take a ball of string so I can find my way out…read more Really. Over the last few decades, Brighton's flagship hospital has had so many extensions and new buildings attached to it that it now resembles a maze. I usually go in through the main entrance and find myself leaving an hour later, through a completely different exit on a different level and different wing. I've tried asking porters, nurses, doctors and complete strangers for directions and nine times out of ten, the only directions they can give is to follow the complicated Way Out signs. Of course, I think it's amazing that England still had hospitals like Royal Sussex - where you can go for free treatment, MRI scans, surgery and advice. I'm all for the NHS and health-care for everyone. I'd just like someone, somewhere to design a decent, colour-coded guide and some clear signage that allows people to navigate their way through Royal Sussex.

I was sold one monthly price and charged a lower one. It took me 4 minutes, 5 phone calls, 3 emails and countless assurances that they would call me back to sort the problem... which they did, I always had to chase them! The only saving grace. There is no space, however the extortionate monthly price and fact you have to give 3 decades notice if you wish to leave, coupled with the fact you always feel welcome make this an unpleasant place to be.

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!).

The walk-in service I nailed after a couple of visits. Also, the receptionist did tell me how long the wait was to be seen each time. Most of them are nice, just been unlucky one time when one of them was very upset about a challenging client. The nurse who has seen to me was very efficient. She advised me to go to A&E. Then another day, I had an appointment to see a doctor (whoop!!) and that was a very sour encounter. He was rude and obnoxious asking me what's wrong with me. All I wanted was a sicknote! I didn't even have a physical examination. He was half quick to whip out that sicknote though. I know a good doctor when I see one cos if the nature of my job. Then I find out that he's just a locum (yeah boi!) so next time I can ask the lovely receptionist can I not be seen by that old quack again.

I was initially impressed with this surgery, when I wasn't actually a registered patient here…read more Being able to walk in and see a Dr or nurse same day (even if you have to wait a while) is quite impressive these days, given the state of the NHS at the moment. After a while I registered with the surgery, and to be honest my experience so far hasn't been great. Having a long term health issue it's important for me to see the same doctor so they are familiar and understand what's going on. However I'm not sure the Drs at this surgery stay on for very long, because over the course of about 18 months I have seen a different Dr every single time I have had an appointment here. Some have been nicer than others, some have been plain rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. I am currently registering with another surgery elsewhere because I don't think the service provided here as a GP is good enough - also it never seems very clean and the building has deteriorated a lot since I started going here. Something always seems to be broken. As a drop in it's adequate.

The only treatments I've bought from here are their ear cones they're like tall, thin, hollow wax candles that you place inside your ear and set alight. As they burn, they create a soft current that draws wax and all manner of nasty things out of your ear, while clearing your sinuses. You can buy the candles here to do yourself at home (which I wouldn't recommend unless you know exactly what you're doing), or for just an extra £2-3, they'll do the candles for you in one of their little rooms at the back. Sounds a little bit weird, but it's actually a very pleasurable experience you'll feel rather lightheaded afterwards and it's a great way of releasing pressure and tension in your sinuses.
