This website has been designed to tell you about the practice and the services that we offer. Please read it carefully. We trust that you will find it helpful and informative.

WELCOME TO PRINCES PARK HEALTH CENTRE

The practice originated in 1925 when Drs Barron and Caldwell joined together to form a new practice in Devonshire Lodge in Seaside. It moved to the Winifred Lee Health Centre (now The Apollo Centre) when it first opened in 1974 under the leadership of Dr Craib.

The practice gradually expanded and outgrew the 'Wini Lee' and after several years of searching for a new site, The Princes Park Health Centre was built and opened on 1st January 2000. The Winifred Lee Health Centre was then redeveloped and re-opened as The Apollo Centre in July 2002.

The Princes Park Health Centre runs entirely NHS services. The Apollo Centre has a mixture of private and NHS services.

The practice has nine permanent doctors and visiting GPs and other associates when required. This is part of a team of primary health care staff that also includes practice nurses, district nurses, health visitors, community midwives, Macmillan nurses and support from reception, secretarial and managerial staff. Our aim is to provide the fullest possible care which includes maternity services, contraceptive services, child health, certain forms of minor surgery as well as the usual medical care. Services are also available from attached staff including a podiatrist, audiologist, retinal screening, full digital X-ray service and DEXA scanning, Orthopaedic CATS service.

The health centre has access for the disabled and parking space is available.

There are nappy changing facilities on the premises.

Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the building.

Patients may register by phoning or calling in at our Apollo reception desk, or they may be allocated through the Primary Care Support Service at Lewes on 01273 485300. All patients have a right to express a preference and may do so when registering.
