Through our partnership with Brighton and Hove Federation, patients now have access to additional appointments from 18.30 to 20.00 weekdays and 09.00 to 17.00 Saturday and Sunday.

These include remote and face to face GP appointments as well as appointments with a nurse, pharmacist or health care assistant. Specialist clinics are also being available (e.g. menopause and womens health).

Please refer to the Federations website, www.brightonandhovefed.co.uk/enhanced-access for updates. Access to these clinics is by contacting the surgery in the normal way. These appointments might be held at a different location to the surgery and are subject to availability.

Out of Hours Service

Please note that during the week, Montpelier surgery is closed from 18:30 until 08:00 the following day every day during the week. The surgery is closed over the weekend from 18:30 Friday until 08:00 on Monday.

When our GP practice is closed, patients should call the NHS 111 service by dialling 111. All calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.

What is NHS 111?

• A simple, free to call, easy to remember three digit number that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
• NHS 111 directs patients to the service that is best able to meet your needs taking into account your location, the time of day you are calling and the capacity of local services.

When should I use 111?

• When it’s not a life threatening situation and, therefore, is less urgent than a 999 call.
• When you cannot see your own GP, for instance when it is closed or you’re are away from home.
• When you feel you cannot wait or are simply unsure of which service you require.
• When you require reassurance about what to do next.

Patients can also make use of the walk-in centre at Brighton Station.

Out of Hours District Nursing

You can contact the out-of-hours district nursing service by phoning 0300 5550104. The service is available from 20:00 to 08:00, 7 days a week. It works alongside the out-of-hours GP service to make sure people get the right care for their needs.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
