Royal Sussex County Hospital – A&E RSCH brighton

Really nice staff. I met several staff going through a kidney stone emergency at night. I could see they were very busy and overloaded but regardless they all acted efficiently, professionally and with a curtiouse smile. Amazing bunch. Thank you

Honestly the staff are heroes doing the job they do day and night.

Despite the A&E being under tremendous pressure, trying to deal with incoming patients in ambulances and those who came to have their 'boo boos' checked, I have been very well looked after. The wait was long, but staff was doing their best.

Staff here is very helpful i came here with my friend who need to deliver blood here...

It is ridiculous that i was send a text message in order to rate my experience at the A & E department and to see if i would recommend friends and family!!! First of all, people go to the A & E because they have an emergency! 50% of the people there on Tuesday evening should have been screened and told that it was not the correct place for their problem. I spotted 12 policeman/women with 3 man in handcuff that were swearing and made everyone there very uncomfortable. Did they have to be there? Drug addicts, drunks and homeless joined in the fun! I waited from 9.20pm until 5am to be seen by a doctor. I was left in a wheelchair for more than 3 hours The triage nurse, who was very good, could not look at my injury as she had no bed to lay me down! I was then transferred on to a bed and left in front of the resuscitation department where all staff members were running around like headless chickens with so so much to do! While Gary , a drunk, well known to them, was trying to get into a bed occupied by a patient. Violetta the nurse who looked after me, was asked to go for a break, but she could not, she had too much to do. Poor nurses and doctors having to cope with so much that has got nothing to do with A & E. Now how can i rate the service i received? I did wait far too long to be seen by a doctor that is for sure. How can i recommend this service to friends and family? Is there an alternative?
