HEALTH Lewes 'Super-surgery' A riverside health campus by 2020 By the early 2020s, all going to plan, Lewes will have a new ‘Super-surgery’, which promises to offer more wideranging services and improved efficiencies, and will replace the three existing surgeries, whilst Ringmer surgery remains. I'm invited to St Andrew's Surgery to talk to Dr Jason Heath, a partner and GP there, who is one of the movers behind the new plans. St Andrew's is one of the three practices involved in what is much more than just a merger, along with School Hill Medical Practice and River Lodge Surgery. The site proposed is directly opposite the river from Tesco, where a number of warehouses from the old Phoenix industrial site currently stand, awaiting demolition before the Santon and Lewes District Council development – of which this will be part – is constructed. The plan includes underground parking. The practice itself along with other new buildings will be built from first-floor height up, making it safe from flooding. The surrounding transport infrastructure will be improved to ease access to and from the site for both car and public transport users. More than just a merger? "We hope this will be a state-of-the-art centre," says Dr Heath, "providing a much wider access to health and social care than the existing surgeries can. It’ll offer a broad spectrum of services to cater for both physical and mental health problems, and enable other key services such as district nursing, midwifery, counselling, audiology, physiotherapy etc to be located on the same campus. Being in one place will improve delivery of care and serve what is a growing population into the next generation." The 'hub' is also keen to maintain links with the Victoria Hospital, with plans to open a GP-staffed urgent treatment unit. One reason for the modernisation is to alleviate what Dr Heath calls the 'GP bottleneck' whereby patients see the GP first, even if there is someone else better placed to help them: to this end Lewes receptionists are already being trained to become ‘patient navigators’, to signpost patients to the most appropriate care options, such as open access support to children or young people with mental health worries, benefits advice, or direct access physiotherapy. I ask the obvious question: "is this a cost-cutting measure in disguise?" Dr Heath, who speaks of the project with great commitment, is quick to dismiss such a thought. "Not at all. In fact the overall cost to the NHS for the surgery will be slightly higher than the current facilities – which are no longer fit for purpose – are costing." "The three current practices are stretched beyond capacity, and the population of the town is growing,” he concludes. “We are planning something which is quite pioneering: I believe we will be the envy, for example, of anyone living in Brighton. A similar project at Bromley-By-Bow has been very successful, creating a space where people come for much more than just to see their doctor, and we are hoping to create something of real value to the Lewes community."
