Worthing Hospital 2023-04-14 Person 3 5 0

I have had two experiences with Worthing hospital, one very positive and one les so. In January 2023 I was admitted to A&E following a pelvic fracture caused by a fall 5' off my garden wall onto flagstones below. Despite pressures the NHS was under I was very grateful for the way my case was handled both by the paramedics and the Emergency Team at Worthing. Yes there was a bit of waiting and quite a lot of shunting around during the course of the night but I really felt all the staff were doing their best for me in difficult circumstances. In 2019 I was diagnosed with Terminal Prostate Cancer. On that occasion I was kept waiting 5 weeks to get my diagnosis, there seemed to be no consistency of staffing and my case clearly didn't seem to be a priority. I was fortunate to be able to get a transfer to a different NHS trust where the care has been much better.
