Join patient group to have voice heard in important NHS study
More than 150 people packed out the Woodlands Centre in Rustington on Saturday for the REAL patients group meeting.
Three GPs – Dr Mark Lee from Willow Green Surgery in Station Road, Rustington, Dr Glyn Williams from Westcourt Surgery in The Street, Rustington, and Sarah Pledger from Fitzalan Medical Group in Littlehampton – answered questions from patients, including issues around getting appointments and people missing them.

Hide AdNeill Vinter from Rustington is from the REAL patients group, with hundreds of members from the six GP surgeries in Rustington, East Preston, Angmering and Littlehampton. He said: “I think the most important thing is we got so many people. It meant the patient’s voice will be heard through the local NHS.”
He urged others to join the group because of an important local NHS feasibility study which he believed could lead to a GP access hub being opened in our town. This week, it was announced that the centres will be built in Chichester, Bognor Regis and Worthing.
