for acutely and chronically sick
patients who CANNOT get to the
surgery. They can be contacted on
Rustington 859307. If they are not
in, a message can be left on their
answer phone or, alternatively, with
the receptionist.

The Community midwives provide
antenatal and postnatal care jointly
with your doctor. Together with the
health visitor they hold antenatal
and parent craft classes.
They can be contacted on the
maternity bleep or on Bramber Ward

Health Visitors
A team of health visitors provide
health advice and support for
families with babies and children
under five. They are also involved
in monitoring your child's
development. They work within the
community and can be contacted on

left on their answer phone. The
health visitors also run a number of
groups including a postnatal group,
baby massage and courses on self
esteem and assertiveness. You can
book a place on any of these courses
through the health visitors. Clinics
are held in both Rustington and
Angmering and are for babies under
six months. Please contact the
health visitors for dates and times.
Counsellor
A fully trained counsellor is
available by referral from the GP.
Audiologist
An audiologist
attends the surgery once a month and
patients can be referred by a
clinician or self refer. The hearing
check is free but any aids supplied
by the audiologist will be charged
to the patient. However, if you
would prefer, the audiologist can
refer you to the hospital for
treatment under the NHS.

This is available
locally by arrangement with your
doctor.
Non-NHS Services
A private acupuncturist, a private
physiotherapist and a private
chiropodist also work in Willow
Green Surgery. These co-workers
provide services outside the NHS for
which they charge a fee. Details and
