About our Eastbourne centre
Our Centre in Eastbourne treats patients with any type of chronic wound or lymphoedema, who are registered with a GP in Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford. We are also able to see patients in their own homes, if housebound, or in Nursing Homes.
Patients visiting our clinic will notice that there are 9 spaces directly in front of our clinic, reserved for Pioneer patients whist they are attending their appointments. Additionally, there are 3 blue-badge spaces available immediately in front of the Clinic reception.
"My sincere thanks for the ways I was treated at the Eastbourne Wound Healing Centre. From the opening of the door and the greeting of your receptionist, to all the trained staff who treated my ulcerated legs. Everyone I met showed care, consideration, compassion and above all dedication."
Patients will be referred to our service via their GP.
