A COMPANY which provides medical transport and event cover from Hailsham and employs more than 150 residents has officially opened a brand new private clinic in the town.
The Elite Medical Health & Urgent Care Clinic on North Street was opened by the town’s Mayor and MP Nusrat Ghani at the weekend (22nd February), where they were able to look around the new clinic and services on offer.
The clinic has been created to take the pressure off local doctor services by offering urgent care to patients on a pay-as-you-go basis or a monthly payment subscription.
Director Ben Callaway said: “We’re delighted that we’re now officially open in the heart of Hailsham and we’ve had some excellent feedback from the patients who have already visited the clinic.
“Whether at our Hailsham-based clinic or through home visits at your preferred address, we are equipped to assess and treat a range of minor health complaints and injuries. Our clinic is fully registered with the CQC, insured, and supported by robust clinical governance, ensuring a safe and effective service for all our patients.”
Residents with health conditions can benefit from same-day phone or video consultations, face-to-face assessments, home visits and a dedicated falls service all across East Sussex.
MP for Sussex Weald, Nusrat Ghani said: “I was pleased to join Hailsham communities and Elite Medical team in officially opening the new Health & Urgent Care Clinic. Elite Medical have a long-standing presence in Hailsham and across East Sussex, supporting the NHS with patient transport and providing medical presence at major events. This new clinic in the centre of Hailsham is a great addition to existing services in the area and it will provide local patients with more choice when requiring medical assessment and treatment, as well as create new job opportunities.”
