Trinity Medical Centre 111: Out of Hours GP & Weekend
Use this practical guide when Trinity Medical Centre is closed or you need evening, weekend or urgent GP help. It explains NHS 111, 999 emergencies, Brighton & Hove Federation evening and weekend appointments, walk-in/minor injury options, surgery contact details, map directions, phone times and how to choose the right route safely.
What should you do when Trinity Medical Centre is closed?
If Trinity Medical Centre is closed and you need urgent medical help that is not life-threatening, use NHS 111 online or call 111. If someone is seriously ill, injured, unconscious, having chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, stroke symptoms, heavy bleeding or their life is at risk, call 999. Trinity’s official out-of-hours page also says evening and weekend GP, nurse and pharmacist appointments are available through Brighton & Hove Federation, but these are booking required and may be held at different sites, not necessarily with your usual GP.
Trinity Medical Centre 111: when to use NHS 111 out of hours
NHS 111 is the right route when the surgery is closed and you need urgent medical help or advice, but it is not a 999 emergency.
Use NHS 111 when closed
Use NHS 111 online or call 111 if you need urgent medical advice, do not know which service to use, think you may need urgent treatment, or cannot wait until Trinity reopens.
Use NHS 111 OnlineOut-of-hours GP is not walk-in
NHS 111 may direct you to an out-of-hours doctor, urgent treatment centre, walk-in centre, pharmacy or another local service. Do not assume you can choose the service yourself.
Use 999 for emergencies
Call 999 for life-threatening symptoms, serious injury, unconsciousness, severe breathing difficulty, stroke signs, chest pain, major bleeding or if someone’s life is at risk.
Emergency GuideImportant: Out-of-hours services are usually busy. Use them when the problem genuinely cannot wait until normal surgery opening. For routine requests, prescriptions, admin forms or non-urgent advice, contact Trinity Medical Centre during normal opening hours.
Trinity Medical Centre weekend GP appointments through Brighton & Hove Federation
Trinity’s official out-of-hours page says additional GP, nurse and pharmacist appointments are available outside normal surgery hours through Brighton & Hove Federation. These are booked appointments, not a general walk-in queue.
| Service | Availability listed by Trinity | Important patient note |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday evening appointments | Weekdays 6:30pm–8:00pm | Booking required through Trinity in the usual way. |
| Saturday appointments | Saturdays 9:00am–5:00pm | May be at different sites and may not be with your usual GP. |
| Sunday appointments | Sundays 9:00am–4:00pm | Contact Trinity in the usual way to book if suitable. |
| Closed-surgery urgent advice | NHS 111 | Use 111 if urgent and cannot wait; use 999 for emergencies. |
Best user tip: Evening and weekend appointments are useful for people who work weekdays, carers, school schedules or routine reviews, but they are not a replacement for 999 or urgent emergency care.

Trinity Medical Centre, walk-in centres and minor injury units
Trinity’s out-of-hours page lists walk-in centres and minor injury units as options for urgent but non-life-threatening illness or injury. These are separate from Trinity Medical Centre and may have their own rules.
| Need | Possible route | Patient note |
|---|---|---|
| Minor injury | Walk-in centre / minor injury unit / urgent treatment | Use for issues such as sprains, minor cuts or minor burns where appropriate. |
| Not sure where to go | NHS 111 | Some centres recommend using NHS 111 before attending. |
| Routine GP issue | Contact Trinity when open | Do not use urgent centres for routine GP admin or planned reviews. |
| Life-threatening symptoms | 999 / A&E | Do not go to a walk-in centre first if emergency symptoms are present. |
Useful rule: If you are not sure whether a walk-in centre, urgent treatment centre, out-of-hours GP or A&E is right, NHS 111 is designed to help choose the correct route.
