A critical incident has been declared by NHS Sussex across health services in Sussex to help ensure local people continue to get safe and quality care. Unfortunately, it will be necessary for some non-urgent treatments and outpatients appointments to be rescheduled to accommodate patients with urgent clinical need.
We are very sorry if your appointment / operation has had to be cancelled and for the inconvenience and distress this will have. Regrettably, our hospitals, like many others across the UK, are experiencing unprecedented demand for our services and we have to take actions to also protect emergency services as well.
The hospital will contact you at the earliest opportunity to rearrange your operation/appointment date. Our A&Es remain open but are extremely busy and we are encouraging anyone with non-emergencies symptoms to contact their GP’s and/or 111 before attending.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during such difficult and exceptional circumstances.
