Enhanced Access

Brighton & Hove patients can access high-quality face-to-face and remote primary care appointments outside core hours, including:

  • Weekdays: 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
  • Saturdays: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
  • Sundays: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm

Appointments are available for routine general practice care such as minor illnesses, new minor injuries, smear tests, blood pressure checks, wound care, short courses of medication, and flare-ups of existing conditions that don’t require your usual GP.

Services are provided at various locations across the city to improve accessibility, and face-to-face appointments may be held at a different site from your usual Surgery.

Our service is delivered by a consistent and skilled multi-disciplinary team of GPs, ANPs, Nurses, Pharmacists, and Healthcare Assistants.

This service is not suitable for:

  • Issues better managed by your usual GP
  • Repeat prescriptions
  • Complex or urgent mental health needs
  • Travel medication
  • Requests for controlled drugs (e.g., opiates or benzodiazepines)

Working closely with PCNs, we take a local, tailored approach, while delivering a service at-scale to meet the needs of each community and ensure that PCNs can meet patient demand.

To book, contact your Surgery in the usual way.

We are offering and developing a range of specialist services such as Menopause Clinics, Coil Clinics, Long-term Condition Management and group consultations.

Specialist Menopause Clinics

We have continued to develop the Brighton and Hove Specialist Menopause Clinic with 3 specialist clinicians currently working at 3 sites across Brighton & Hove.

The clinic is staffed by clinicians with additional qualifications in Menopause Care, and offers specialist assessment, advice, and treatment with the option of face-to-face and telephone appointments.

Patients can be referred to the specialist menopause clinic after they have seen their GP about menopause, and only if they meet one of the following criteria:

  1. They still struggle with symptoms or side effects after trying several treatments prescribed by own GP.
  2. They cannot take HRT (or have health/family risks) and have not improved with non-hormonal treatments.
  3. They have had breast cancer and want advice on managing menopause.
  4. They are more than 10 years past menopause and want to start HRT.
  5. They want to try testosterone for low libido, and the referring clinician feels this is beyond their expertise.
  6. They have suspected or confirmed Premature Ovarian Insufficiency.
  7. They have a menopause-related problem that cannot effectively be managed at the GP practice.

Coil Clinics

We deliver a fortnightly weekend coil clinic for patients registered with a GP practice in Brighton & Hove. 

The Clinic is staffed by clinicians with additional qualifications in Coil Procedures and advice, and offers specialist assessment and coil fitting/removal. An initial telephone consultation can be booked via a patient's GP surgery reception. Following a consultation with one of our specialists, a face-to-face procedure appointment will be booked.

Following consultation, our team can fit devices for contraception or HRT. Patients can self-refer via our website: Patient Services
