Eastbourne District General Hospital

I went to Eastbourne hospital when my skin condition worsened. I expected a long wait, but it was worth it. I was my skin was thoroughly checked and advice given on how to use the steroid cream that a local GP had prescribed. Excellent service by a doctor with dermatology specialism. Treated with great care and thought.

The staff in the Urology Department are always very friendly and welcoming. This applies to staff at all levels from Consultants to nursing assistants. When I have had a spell as an in-patient the staff on the wards have been excellent and other staff, such as porters, caterers and cleaners etc. have all made my stay a pleasant experience.

Day surgery for hernia repair in the new Sussex suite. Very anxious about a general anaesthetic but had a fantastic experience. Everyone I met was kind, supportive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to meet. Even with some of the teething problems that you are all experiencing. Thank you all so much but I never want to see you again.

I had very dark memories of Hospitals since a child, so avoided at all costs. But after having a few bad episodes of kidney stones, I had to go in for a small Op. I can honestly say it was like staying in a 5 star hotel with my own Butler’s on call. Every person in contact with me , we’re wonderful. My faith has certainly been restored. Thank you all for the care you give.

Admitted to Friston Ward from A&E for an overnight stay. Thank you to doctors and nurses for great care. A huge amount of praise for all the staff in A&E who work under such incredible pressure but still manage to treat patients with respect, kindness and dignity. Yes, I had to wait for a bed, which is to be expected in such a busy hospital but all tests were rapidly carried out, a short wait to see a doctor who arranged a CT scan. After the scan a surgeon came to discuss the results/options. My grateful thanks to all the wonderful staff who keep the emergency department running so smoothly despite having to deal with huge numbers of patients each and every day.

Great staff and clean and comfortable environment.

i have just undergone orthopaedic surgery as a day patient and my surgeon Mr Ricks and his team have been excellent, along with the staff in the Hailsham day surgery ward. My after care has been incredible at the fracture clinic today with Matron Amelia and nurse Steph looking after my wound with such care and compassion towards me. I couldn't ask for more!

Still waiting to see cadiology consultant following stent treatment. My GP referred me first week of June 2024 due to shortness of breath and still waiting nearly seven months later.

My GP referred me to the Cardiology Dept following stent treament during the first week of June this year. I understood this to be an emergency referral. I am still waiting after over six months.

I was most impressed with everyone at the hospital for their professionalism and care.
