Brighton Walk-in Centre

The Walk-In Centre (WIC) at Brighton Station Health Centre is open seven days a week from 8am to 8pm, to support patients who need urgent, same-day care for non-life-threatening issues. A nurse-led service, the WIC is a convenient option for patients who require medical attention without waiting for an appointment or visiting A&E.

The WIC team can assist with a range of issues, including:

·         Minor illnesses such as sore throats, ear and throat infections

·         Acute asthma and respiratory illnesses

·         Minor skin complaints and rashes

·         Minor injuries, including sprains, cuts, and bruises

·         Urinary infections, thrush and menstrual problems

·         Minor eye problems, conjunctivitis, styes

·         Minor burns and scalds

·         Stomach problems, indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea and vomiting

Wait times

The average wait time is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours —much shorter than typical emergency department waits for non-critical issues. In December, 96% patients were seen under two hours when visiting the WIC.

If you need to signpost patients to the Walk-In Centre, please feel free to do so. Our services are designed to ease the pressure on practices and urgent and emergency healthcare, while ensuring patients receive the care they need in a timely manner.
