Need a prescription?

If you or a family member has run out of their regular repeat medication and you are away from home help is available. If you contact your GP practice at home they will be able to fax a request for a supply of your regular repeat medication to one of the pharmacies in Selsey. Please call the pharmacy first to explain your situation, get the fax number and then arrange with your home GP to have the prescription faxed to the required pharmacy.

The local GP

If you require urgent medical help while you are away from home you can register temporarily with a GP near where you’re staying. In Selsey there is one G.P based in the town centre near to the Northern Co-op store.

Minor injuries

If you have an injury or illness and you need urgent medical attention, but it is not a life-threatening emergency, there are two minor injury services in Coastal West Sussex where you can get help or treatment. You can just turn up at these services, and don’t need to book an appointment like a GP practice. Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital Minor Injuries Unit and the Park Surgery in Littlehampton both provide a walk in service if you need help for conditions including sprains, minor burns, cuts and grazes, and minor skin irritations. They are both open Mon to Fri – Bognor Regis MIU is open 9am to 5pm and Park Surgery is open from 8am to 6.30pm.

Accident & Emergency

A&E is for serious, life-threatening injuries and illnesses that need urgent medical attention. These include, but are not limited to, stroke, severe chest pain and breathing difficulties, heavy bleeding, loss of consciousness, and serious burns. People with this type of life threatening conditions will be treated before those with minor injuries and illness. In Coastal West Sussex there are A&E departments at St. Richards Hospital in Chichester and Worthing Hospital. Only use them in life threatening situations.
