Healthcare
Seaview enjoys close partnerships with a range of healthcare organisations:
Integrated Care 24 (IC24)
Operating from a fully equipped treatment room in Seaview, IC-24 offer nurse-led drop-in clinics, up to three days a week. Service users can expect non-judgemental, practical, holistic, person-centred nursing support, in a friendly environment.
Team members provide all manner of nursing care with a particular emphasis on:
Complex wound care
Health assessments
Patient advocacy, signposting and referrals
Mental health support and safe place
Listening service
First aid
Integrated Care 24 are trying to bridge the gap that exists for those who struggle to engage with healthcare services. This may be due to previous bad experience/stigma associated with homelessness, substance misuse and mental health illness.
IC24 are actively working with health screen services such as bowel and cervical cancer as well as local GP services, to educate and inform them about the barriers faced for our population group and actively find ways to reduce such barriers.
The team are here to help patients at every step, regardless of substance misuse etc. IC24 are trying to create equity in healthcare.
Walk-in Doctor
Every Monday, between 10am and 1pm, we offer walk-in doctor appointments for our service users in our treatment room here at Seaview. Service users can see a doctor about any physical or mental health issue. Team members will deal with issues as far as possible providing health advice, podiatry, wound care, nurse prescribing (for infections, wound care, skin problems, minor ailments and stop smoking support) health promotion and are careful to refer on service users to more specialised or secondary care services when indicated.
Hepatitis C Trust and Brighton and Sussex Medical School
The Hepatitis C Trust and Brighton and Sussex Medical School offer a one stop well liver clinic in Seaview. Clinical Research Fellow in Hepatology Dr Adele Mourad works from a dedicated treatment room every Wednesday from 10-2 pm. Dr Adele can test for Hepatitis B, and HIV as well as assessing liver health and can also test and offer treatment for Hepatitis C. The aim of the clinic is to improve liver health, and reduce hospital visits and is part of strategies whereby the World Health Organisation (WHO) aim to eliminate Hepatitis C across the world by 2030.

Dentaid
We enjoy a close partnership with mobile dentistry charity Dentaid, who visit us fortnightly in their mobile dentistry unit. Service users can book in with them and get treated for any oral health issues they may be struggling with. This response to healthcare in our community is particularly important as people find it increasingly difficult to register as new patients to surgeries around the UK.
CGL Clinic
Local substance misuse agency CGL (Change, Grow, Live) offer an open access drop-in clinic to ADDER clients at Seaview every Tuesday between 10-2 pm. The clinic offers assessments, clinical interventions, mental health nurse interventions and titration appointments.
Lung Cancer Awareness
Working closely with CA066 and the NHS, the Lung Cancer awareness campaign is working to ensure people know how to recognise symptoms and how and when to access services. The campaign encourages those who have symptoms and don’t have COVID-19 to contact their GP practice, reminding Seaview service users and the general public the NHS is available for those in need.
