Dr Kate Buchanan GP Brighton offers expert, compassionate healthcare tailored to each patient’s unique needs. From your first visit, we prioritise clear communication, respectful treatment, and ongoing support. Moreover, we believe in building long-term relationships to help you manage your health confidently and effectively.
Our clinic goes beyond routine GP appointments. We provide a variety of services, including chronic illness management, preventive care, and health screenings. Additionally, we coordinate referrals when needed, ensuring you receive seamless, high-quality care. Consequently, our patients benefit from consistent support and peace of mind.
Young patients receive confidential, respectful care in a welcoming environment. We encourage open communication with those under 16. Furthermore, we help them understand their health and make informed choices. As a result, families trust us with their children’s medical needs.
You can self-refer to several health services, including physiotherapy, sexual health, and mental health support. Therefore, you can access care more quickly and efficiently. If needed, we guide you through the self-referral process and answer any questions along the way.
If you're travelling abroad, schedule a travel health appointment with us. We provide destination-specific vaccinations and up-to-date travel advice. Additionally, we help you prepare for safe journeys. Hence, you can focus on enjoying your trip with confidence.
Vaccines protect against serious diseases at every stage of life. We offer childhood immunisations, flu jabs, and adult boosters. Moreover, we send reminders so you never miss an important dose. Prevention is central to our care philosophy.
Some services, like private medical reports or letters, fall outside NHS funding. However, we explain all charges clearly before proceeding. Transparency ensures you make informed decisions without surprises.
Patients on the learning disability register are eligible for free annual health checks. These appointments help detect issues early. Consequently, we can offer personalised treatment plans that support long-term wellbeing.
If you care for someone, please let us know. We’ll record this on your file and offer support tailored to your needs. Furthermore, we recognise the vital role carers play and aim to care for their health too.
