One member of my family has had 150 different hospital appointments in the past year with various consultants, clinics etc. With the exception of one consultant paediatrician, the staff have generally been excellent. In particular we have found that the community and support nurses have done much more than could reasonably be expected and helped the whole family.
The faccilities in Chichester have been greatly improved recently, but now the hospital is failing on budgetary criteria and will have to spend £500000 on consultants to put it right - madness. Half of that money is to pay for the "trouble shooter" and the rest for his staff. I expect that this is common everywhere. Hospitals should be run on clinical needs by people competent in making those judgements, not political ones.
For in-patient services we have used the Nuffield hospital and paid.

My old mother in law has been in both the General and the Sussex in the last year. I think both are filthy and a disgrace.
The staff are scruffy and you are unable to tell doctors, nurses and cleaners apart. Whatever happened to some kind of dress code. I work in a factory and would be pulled up for dressing as some doctors in hospitals do today.

That one in Hove - gave me R&R + B&B for a week when I had a fucker of an asthma-based killer of a chest infection a decade ago. Signed meself out the day before that mental Orient match at the Goldstone
Royal Alex - saved me daughter's life when she had meningitis aged nine months
So won't hear a word said against any of them, or any of the good good people that work in them. We, the punters, are not worthy. F*ct.

I haven't had much experience of the Brighton hospitals recently (thank goodness) but had massive massive complaints about Worthing General when my Dad died there 8 years ago. My written complaint was generally ignored although I got a reply, it was a typical 'political' reply which didn't address my complaint at all in any way.

Don't know much about Brighton hospitals but I work in a 3 star hospital in Coventry

Unfortunately I've spent a few spells in Worthing hospital but I have no complaints. I was treated very well.

Read my post carefully, it wasn't me it was my mother, she died 10 years ago so I have no idea now, doesn't realy matter as I've been in there a few times and the only complaint I have is that some doctors just don't listen, That can happen in any hospital though.

One thing I have noticed having had a few hospital stays, some people think they're in a hotel.

When I had my gallbladder removed at Lewes, the service was brilliant.dougdeep said:
There were two patients kept in overnight. We had separate wards. And four nursing staff to look after the two of us.
I'm not sure that this was cost effective, though.

Lewes Hospital - bodged my vasectomy, which got badly infected.
RSCH - was admitted 3 times after the nutbag infection for treatment and ended up staying there for about a month in all as they couldn't sort out the problem. Ended up having another operation to fix it, with another month of recovery. Disaster. Lovely staff, dirty hospital. Found a used hearing aid under my bed once, and fresh blood squirts up the wall in one of the bogs from some smackhead.
Haywards Heath hospital - the bollix. Fantastic.
