After almost 28 years of providing primary care to patients in Brighton, Dr Adolfo Gracia has announced his plans to retire at the end of October.

Dr Gracia has been a GP partner at Ship Street Surgery for twelve years and has been providing outstanding care to patients in Brighton since 1994. 

We thank Dr Gracia for his care and commitment to patients at Ship Street and wish him all the best for the future.

Patients can be reassured that their care will not be affected. From 1^st November 2022, Integrated Care 24 (IC24) will be taking over to run GP services at the practice. 

You do not need to do anything, all patients will remain registered at Ship Street Surgery and patients can continue to access care in the same location, during the same opening hours. 

In order to ensure a smooth transition, Dr Gracia will remain working at the practice until the end of the year on a part time basis, before handing over fully.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the practice on: 01273 778622
