What is the Community Appointment Day?

Dear Patient,

We would like to offer you an appointment at our MSK Community Appointment Day. This will be on Tuesday 15th October at The Bridge Leisure Centre, Horsham.

This isn’t like any other appointment, you won’t just see 1 clinician in a small room:

  • You will be able to see all the specialists you need to at this appointment.
  • You will have as long as you need with the clinicians you need to see, there is no end time to your appointment.
  • Most patients do not need to see us again after this as they have had every treatment they needed.
  • There will be other patients seen at the same time as you, but we have designed the event to ensure your privacy. The sports hall will be divided into large sections for each specialism with 5-20 clinicians per section.

If you have accessibility or sensory needs please see the accessible features section below or call us to discuss if the day is right for you.

Where is it?

The Bridge Leisure Centre, Wickhurst Lane, Broadbridge Heath, Horsham, RH12 3YS

Is my appointment at a specific time?

You can arrive anytime within your chosen 30 minute check-in window. There are no set start or end times for anyone’s appointments. There may be a short wait to see your first clinician as we give each patient as long as they need.

How long will it take?

Most people take 30-90 minutes to see everyone they need. Some people can take longer depending on how many clinicians & services they see. The longest a patient has spent has been 2.5 hours.

How Do I Book my Place?

Appointments will be bookable from 11am with the latest slots starting at 4.30pm. You can arrive anytime within your chosen appointment timeslot.
