DEAL HOSPITAL

We are fortunate in Deal in that we have most services available at our local hospital where most outpatient clinics are held in most disease areas, as well as x-ray, physiotherapy, minor surgery, day-case surgery and inpatient beds.

HOSPITAL TRANSPORT

The practice is unable to arrange hospital transport to outpatient appointments. If you think you are eligible and require this transport you should contact the Eastern and Coastal Kent PCT on 01303 852791. The criteria for patient transport are very strict and determined purely on medical need. There is also a volunteer-run hospital car service for which a charge is made.
