SeaFit Health and Dental Event North Shields
Free and confidential – no appointments needed.
North Shields Fish Market
27th March 2025
10am to 4pm
SeaFit is a joint initiative run by the Fishermen’s Mission and the Seafarers Hospital Society around the coastline of the UK. We bring services to the quayside based on tide times and fishing seasons. This gives fishermen easier access to health and wellbeing providers to help them make positive lifestyle choices.
The SeaFit brand is recognised in many fishing ports as we connect fishermen to physical and mental health services. We conduct regular quayside conversations, NHS health checks, mental health counselling, dental, health screening, information on self-management of long-term conditions, cancer information and a newly developed physiotherapy network. We also work with local GPs, health professionals and other charitable organisations.

NHS waiting times can be very long, therefore if private dental treatment is not an option, these might be possible solutions, although there may still be waiting times and charges for some treatment:
