A new health centre offering early morning, evening and weekend doctors’ appointments and a walk-in service will open this Wednesday (July 1). Brighton Station Health Centre, run by the private company Care UK on behalf of NHS Brighton and Hove, will open from 8am-8pm, seven days a week.

The health centre is welcoming new patient registrations and provides a comprehensive range of regular health services for registered patients who can make appointments at times to suit them. There will also be a walk-in service which will treat all NHS patients without an appointment for minor injuries and ailments, including patients who live locally, visitors and commuters.

Mark Hunt, Managing Director of Care UK Primary Care said,
“Care UK is delighted that this new facility opens this week to patients for the first time, giving access to high quality health care to the people of Brighton. Through our partnership with NHS Brighton and Hove, everyone in the area will benefit from greater choice about how they wish to access healthcare facilities and treatment.

“Care UK has an extremely high standard of care in our GP practices and walk in centres across the country, with 94% of our patients rating our walk-in centres as either good or excellent. We are confident that the care at the new centre in Brighton will be of a similarly high standard.”

Darren Grayson, Chief Executive, Brighton and Hove PCT, said:
"The establishment of a centrally located GP surgery with extended opening hours, open every day of the year, gives patients more choice about when they can see a doctor. This is great news for local people."

Brighton Station Health Centre, Aspect House, 84-87 Queens Road, Brighton BN1 3XE.
