☀️ Stay Safe in the Sun ☀️

With the warmer weather continuing, we'd like to remind everyone to take care when spending time outdoors.

🌞 Use sun cream with a minimum SPF 30 and reapply it regularly throughout the day
🧢 Wear a hat and sunglasses to help protect yourself from the sun
💧 Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated
🌳 Try to stay in the shade during the hottest part of the day (11am–3pm)
👶 Take extra care with young children, older adults and those with existing health conditions

Even on cloudy days, UV rays can still be strong enough to damage your skin.

Enjoy the sunshine, but remember to stay safe and look after yourself and those around you.

On Friday 5th April, Princes Park Health Centre were delighted to host Eastbourne MP Josh Babarinde OBE. Josh found his time at the practice to be insightful, he spoke to various members of the team including one of the GP partners to understand how the practice manages a significant number patient requests every day via the Total Triage system.

Josh was very aware of the issues which face all GP practices in regards to income. He was very interested to understand the challenges of running a GP surgery, including a lack of space within premises which limits the opportunity to take on additional clinical staff which are desperately needed to meet the increasing demands in patient care.

It's been a very busy month at Eastbourne Healthcare Partnership. We have added new locations to our ultrasound service in Newhaven and Rye. These are in addition to clinics in Eastbourne, Hailsham, Seaford and St Leonards.

Thank you to the team who have all worked so incredibly hard to ensure minimal patient disruption, following the collapse of a local ultrasound provider.
