4Sight Vision Support

4Sight Vision Support For over 100 years, we have supported blind and sight impaired people across West Sussex. Whoever they are, whatever they do, wherever they find themselves.

4Sight Vision Support was established in 1921 to support blind and partially sighted people in West Sussex. We now support over 2,000 members and provide over 5,000 people with a wide range of practical support solutions to help them remain independent following sight loss. Our main aim at 4Sight Vision Support is to improve the lives of blind and partially sighted people with sight loss. We support in many different ways though services, visits, information, guidance, advocacy and support. Our aims are to enable people to:

Adjust to sight loss
Make the best use of low vision
Combat social isolation
Access appropriate information and advice
Maintain independence
Participate actively in their communities and family life
Access facilities and open spaces, across town and country
Access high quality personal social care and clinical services, with appropriate and timely choices
Influence service design, provision, commissioning and planning
Make informed choices about their own health and wellbeing

4Sight Vision Support supports these aims by providing valuable and much needed services, enabling blind and partially sighted people to remain as independent as possible.

New NHS online hospital to focus on eyes, menopause and prostate.

The new NHS online hospital service being launched in England next year will initially focus on menopause, prostate and eye conditions.

The NHS has selected nine different conditions in total for the service which will be available through the NHS app in 2027.

The service, which was first announced in September, will allow patients to have assessments, check-ups and follow-up appointments online and will have its own dedicated team of doctors.

The aim is to carry out 8.5 million appointments in the first three years – four times more than the average NHS trust. There are 9 conditions that have been prioritised including glaucoma and cataracts. The expectation is more conditions will be added to this list in the future.

No patient will be forced down this route though, NHS England said, as they can still choose face-to-face appointments.

Did you know that we have walking groups covering Chichester and the wider surrounding areas and mid-Sussex, where trained sighted guides support participants?
Dr Tim Fooks, High Sheriff of West Sussex and Vice Patron of 4Sight Vision Support, says:
"One of the most enjoyable opportunities that has arisen since I became a Vice Patron is to have been trained as a sighted guide for the walking groups. The type and severity of sight loss experienced by the walkers is varied and so, when guiding, the first task is to establish how much guidance and information they would like to receive.
Walking alongside someone is a wonderful way to spend a few hours, the conversation, laughter and sense of normality that comes from being outdoors in good company. You appreciate what is going on around you and the guide can create ‘word pictures’ that enable you both to share these experiences.
For example, during a visit to the Weald and Downland Museum, we stopped to feel the ancient flint wall of the schoolhouse. While we marvelled at the different textures, I noticed the great range of colours in the stone. Then, as we walked along, listening to the gravel under our feet, sunlight was breaking through the canopy of trees. Finding the words to describe these moments, results in the sharpening of another sense – that of wonder.
The walking groups bring together people who might otherwise feel isolated, offering a space for conversation, companionship and confidence. But they also enable us to re-discover the awe in nature – this is good for mental wellbeing.
So, to all who walk, guide, or volunteer, thank you. You are not only building confidence and independence but also the kind of community that keeps us all well. "

If you’d like to find out more about our walking groups or other social or leisure activities in your area please contact the services team on 01243 828555 or email enquiries@4sight.org.uk

Winter pressures and seasonal illness continue to place significant demand on Sussex NHS services.

Whether it is a sprain or suspected broken bone after a slip on icy pavements, or stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhoea that needs same day care, knowing where to go can help people get the support they need more quickly, while allowing A&E departments to focus on the most serious and life-threatening emergencies.
Urgent Treatment Centres, walk-in centres, and Minor Injury Units provide assessment and treatment for urgent but not life-threatening illnesses and injuries.

These services can diagnose and manage many of the common problems people often attend A&E for, including cuts and bruises, skin infections and rashes, and high temperatures in children and adults.

Find details of your nearest urgent care service on the NHS website or by contacting NHS 111 online or by phone. These services are available on a walk-in basis, but contacting NHS 111 first can mean you get an arrival time, and the team knows you are coming.
