Sussex University walk-in clinic cancelled due to coronavirus

Today, Sussex University released a statement online on their Health Centre website stating that they are now offering phone consultations with a clinician which will temporarily replace the walk in clinic that usually runs between 9am-11am throughout the week.

This change will take place Monday 9th March onwards, following the changing risk of coronavirus.

This comes just after the University released a statement informing students that someone associated with the University had recently tested positive for the virus.

The telephone consultation will offer a telephone triage system in which you will speak with a clinician who will assess and advice on management with the options of a telephone advisement from a nurse or from a GP or a follow up face to face appointment with a GP.
