Disabled parking availability

There are several disabled parking bays opposite the entrance

Parking options: on-site, street and alternatives

Overview of parking options

On arrival you will find an area of on-site parking directly outside Station Plaza Health Centre, plus nearby pay-and-display bays. The forecourt is ideal for drop-offs, and taxis commonly use the station forecourt for quick passenger collection. If the forecourt is full, short-stay parking encircles the station and there are municipal car parks within a five to ten minute walk. Allow extra time during busy summer weekends when seaside visitors increase demand.

Parking guidance in detail

• Street pay-and-display bays near the station suit short appointments, but be mindful of restrictions, resident permit zones and loading areas which often occupy kerb space close to the clinic.
• Immediate forecourt parking, ideal for drop offs and short visits, tends to fill quickly at commuter peak times, so allow time or plan a short wait offsite if necessary.
• Taxis and private hire vehicles should use the station forecourt for safe passenger loading and unloading; drivers know the clinic landmark and can usually drop you at the nearest kerbside access point.
• Municipal car parks within a short walk provide longer stay options; consult local signage for charges and maximum stay limits, which vary by season and day of the week.
• When planning your journey, check for planned roadworks that may affect access to Station Approach and allow alternate routes through the town centre if necessary to avoid delays.

Advice for blue badge holders

Designated disabled parking bays sit opposite the main entrance, and blue badge holders may be able to use limited on-street suspension areas. Always display your badge correctly and check signage for time limits to avoid fines.

Additional note

If you expect to need an escort or assistance from the station platforms, call reception ahead so staff can arrange a meet-and-greet to provide door-to-door help.

Disabled parking and mobility considerations

Accessible parking details

The clinic provides several reserved disabled parking bays on the approach to the main entrance, placed to reduce the distance from vehicle to clinic door. These bays are for blue badge holders and are surfaced and marked to allow safe transfer to wheelchairs or walking aids, with minimal kerb changes and tactile paving where the forecourt meets the public footway to assist patients with reduced vision or balance.

If you travel in an adapted vehicle or accessible taxi, the forecourt and adjacent routes offer level access to reception, and an accessible ramp is provided where necessary. For patients who prefer a short escort from a drop-off point at the station, please call reception in advance so staff can arrange assistance and spare you unnecessary walking in poor weather.

Disabled access information

The clinic is on the ground floor and there is level access.

Disabled access: entrance, internal layout and toilets

The clinic sits at ground level with level thresholds and door widths that meet current access standards, allowing straightforward movement of wheelchairs and pushchairs. Corridors are kept clear and seating is arranged to accommodate mobility devices; staff will move furniture if you need additional space for a companion. Handles, handrails and lighting are positioned to help those with reduced dexterity or low vision, and any access needs you communicate are recorded to support consistent care at follow-up visits.

Accessible toilets are available a short distance from the consulting rooms, equipped with grab rails and an emergency pull cord. If you require a quieter waiting area or an appointment at a less busy time, tell the booking team and we will try to accommodate you. The clinic operates a no-rush approach for patients needing extra time during assessment or treatment.

Parking information

There is ample free on-site parking available.

Public transport, walking routes and taxi access

Rail and local bus connections

Hastings railway station sits directly beside Station Plaza Health Centre, so many patients arrive by train and take only a short walk to the clinic entrance. Regular services link Hastings with London, Brighton and Ashford, while local buses serve Bexhill, Battle and the wider East Sussex area. Check live timetables to allow for platform changes and walking time; some bus stops require a short uphill walk which may be difficult for those with mobility limitations.

Walking routes from the station

1. If arriving by taxi, ask the driver to use the station forecourt drop-off area, which gives a safe, level approach to the clinic door and avoids steep pavements or steps.
2. Exit the station via the main concourse, turn left along Station Approach and follow the pedestrian signage for Station Plaza Health Centre; the route is flat and fully paved, suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
3. If exiting from the south platform, use the station subway to reach the concourse safely, then follow signs to the clinic forecourt which takes under five minutes at a normal walking pace.
4. From the northern bus interchange, cross at the pedestrian crossing and continue down the High Street towards the station, keeping to the pavement and following local direction signs to Station Plaza.
5. During busy festival times, allow extra walking time as some streets close temporarily and marshalled diversions may add five to ten minutes to your journey.

Mobility micro-guideline

When using public transport, build in a time buffer: allow at least 20 minutes between arrival by train or bus and your appointment to account for platform changes, ticket checks and an assisted walk if required.

Appointment booking: reserve a microsuction slot in Hastings

Private microsuction bookings in Hastings can be made online or by phone, giving you the flexibility to choose a time that fits your day. Appointments are usually available on weekdays and some evenings to suit working patients and carers. The online booking portal allows you to select the Hastings clinic, view live availability and complete a short pre-appointment form covering medical history and current medication. Payment online secures your slot, but reception can explain cancellation terms and how to reschedule if plans change.

When you book, include any access needs and a contact phone number for same-day updates. Bring hearing aids in their case and tell the clinician if you use wax guards or custom domes, as this affects the removal technique and aftercare. For urgent symptoms such as sudden hearing loss, severe ear pain or discharge, phone the clinic rather than booking online so the triage team can prioritise your care.

Appointment booking details

Due to demand, private ear wax removal is available by appointment only. You can book an ear microsuction appointment online, or use the button below:

Arrival and check-in at Station Plaza Health Centre

Arrival expectations

On arrival follow external signage to the patient entrance and use the intercom or reception buzzer if the door is locked. Reception will confirm your booking, check identity and ask a few clinical screening questions to ensure the procedure is safe on the day. Screening typically covers recent ear infections, ear surgery, anticoagulant medication and symptoms like dizziness or discharge, which can change the clinical plan or require contact with your GP.

• Clinical staff will call you into the treatment room when ready, describe the microsuction process and answer any final questions about comfort, sensations and aftercare.
• Upon check-in, reception will request your name, appointment time and a contact telephone number, then provide an estimated wait time if the clinic is running behind; staff update patients promptly to reduce uncertainty.
• Following microsuction, you will be observed briefly to confirm there is no immediate discomfort, and staff will supply written aftercare instructions and a telephone contact for any post-procedure concerns.
• Payment and booking confirmations are handled at reception or via the online portal, and receipts can be issued for private healthcare claims if needed; keep documentation for reimbursement or records.
• If you carry a blue badge or need an accessible space, mention this at check-in and an attendant will direct you to the nearest reserved bay or help with a kerbside transfer into the waiting area.

Clinics across East Sussex: nearby options and referrals

If Hastings is not convenient, there are several private microsuction clinics across East Sussex and neighbouring counties that follow comparable diagnostic and treatment standards. Some centres offer home visits for patients with severe mobility limits. If Hastings is fully booked, reception can recommend the closest alternative with similar opening hours or place you on a cancellation list to be notified of an earlier slot.

Microsuction versus ear syringing

Many GP surgeries no longer offer ear syringing, a change driven by reduced funding and safety concerns. Ear syringing or irrigation can cause infection, hearing loss, tinnitus, perforation of the eardrum and further impaction of wax, as the fluid may push cerumen further against the drum. It is therefore unsurprising that patients are increasingly choosing microsuction ear wax removal instead, seeking a safer, more controlled approach. NHS microsuction services have seen demand rise sharply, leading in some areas to waits of two to three months.

You do not have to wait months for microsuction. Consider going private for faster treatment. It is often less costly than expected, so visit our booking page and you could have the blockage cleared this week.

Microsuction vs Syringing: Safety, Effectiveness and Aftercare

Clinical comparison and patient benefits

Microsuction is performed under microscopic visualisation using controlled suction to remove wax safely. Compared with syringing or irrigation, microsuction minimises water exposure and allows clinicians to see the ear canal throughout, reducing the risk of perforation and post-procedure infection. Sterile, single-use suction tips and specialist suction units are standard, reducing cross-contamination risks. Clinicians also provide immediate advice on wax management, hearing aid care and protective measures for swimmers or those exposed to noisy environments.

Aftercare and typical outcomes

Most patients notice immediate improvement in hearing and less ear fullness after microsuction. Minor, short-lived effects such as transient tinnitus or sensitivity to loud sounds can occur; clinicians will explain expected symptoms and when to seek further attention. If a perforation or infection is suspected, prompt follow-up is arranged, including GP referral when necessary to protect hearing health.

Guidelines for repeat treatments

Patients who generate a lot of cerumen or who use hearing aids may benefit from maintenance visits every six to twelve months; the clinician will advise an interval based on your wax production and lifestyle needs.

Clinical caution

If you have a history of ear surgery, severe dizziness or unexplained bleeding, advise the clinician before the procedure so appropriate precautions or alternative management strategies can be considered.

Local landmarks, visitor tips and helpful routes

Using local landmarks makes navigating to the clinic easier: the pier, Old Town and the station are reliable reference points for walking and taxi drivers. Hastings town centre is compact with clear pedestrian connections between the seafront and station, so you can combine a clinic visit with errands if you wish. If mobility is limited, choose routes that stay on level pavements and avoid steep slopes around the Old Town and cliffs. Coastal weather changes quickly, so bring a waterproof layer and factor in extra time during festivals or market days.

• If arriving by car, use Station Approach as your main navigation reference and confirm postcode TN34 1BA if your satnav offers multiple Station Approach results.
• For those cycling, covered cycle racks are available near the station, and cyclists should plan routes that avoid busy cliffside promenades at peak times.
• When travelling by train, disembark at Hastings station and follow exit signs to the station forecourt; the clinic is adjacent and usually a two to five minute walk.
• Pedestrian access from the seafront involves a gentle uphill walk through the town centre; if stairs or slopes are difficult, request a taxi or use the nearby bus service.
• On event days such as the Jack in the Green festival, allow extra travel time and consider an earlier appointment to avoid the busiest arrival windows and any temporary closures.
