Royal Sussex County Hospital Emergency Department brighton

Visited Saturday morning after a fall. Staff friendly, calm, welcoming,efficient. Was assessed, had x-ray, and had wrist put in plaster. It took 2 hours from entering to leaving. Many thanks

Went with a sprained ankle to make sure nothing more was wrong All of the doctors and nurses were lovely and very friendly Truely wonderful people!

1-Rude Receptionists. 2- an ENP staff and a nurse were publicly discussing the lack of support from their colleagues. —-> very unprofessional 3- No protection for the patients privacy. Example: a nurse was asking the patient in a very loud voice about their information ( by the way the patient wasn’t deaf because I saw him answering someone else questions without shouting at them). 4- No protection of patient dignity: I was wondering with my urine test in front of everyone in the waiting room. I had to find a tissue to cover it because it was very embarrassing for me. 5- Finally the doctor was very rude. I felt like I was in front of Grand Inquisitor from Star War. “ Dear Doctor D: a warm smile is the universal language of kindness”

I spent 2 days in A & E and the Short Stay Unit with my elderly husband who had had a terminal stroke. Everyone was extremely kind, much more so than just doing their jobs. My thanks go to everyone involved.

This hospital is useless in the casualty dept, how can a nurse diagnose an illness by just looking at someone when no scans are ordered and just give paracetamol for appendicitis and send person home, when the person has previously been treated for a life threatening illness. Disgusting, she's been unable to hold down food or drink for over a week ..i would recommend travelling further afieldto a decent hospital
