"What fantastic staff"

About: Royal Sussex County Hospital / Accident and emergency

I have been so impressed with the A and E department in the last two weeks. I have used the service throughout two week ends, late into the night. The staff are busy, but they work hard, do what they say they are going to do. I was referred to X ray, scanning, saw surgeons who arrived from other departments, as promised.

The staff were so professional, at all times. from the kind, attentive receptionists, the health care assistants who took blood, administered ECGs, and kept checking in- "How are you doing?" through to the registrar who took such care to explain what was happening and the surgeon who, at 11 o'clock at night, still in their scrubs made the effort to smile and hold my hand.

The surgical assessment unit, attached to A and E deserves a social thank you. The nurses and the health care professionals were amazing. Such patience, such respect for patients, and so kind.

I feel really blessed, thank you

Thank you for your very kind and thoughtful message about the care you received at our hospital.

I will, of course, share your appreciation with the Emergency Department and Surgical Assessment teams who, I know, will be very pleased that their care made a difference at what must have been a very worrying time for you.

I do hope that you are now making a good recovery and thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback

with best wishes

Jane Carmody
