MATERNITY: Having given birth to my first 2 children in the US - where everything is covered by…read moreHealth Insurance and you get to control most things about your birth experience (because you're paying), I'll admit it was with some trepidation that I undertook the NHS version of obstetrics. However, having been put off by Queen Alexandra's Hospital in Portsmouth by their lack of physical tour (you have to get by with a substandard YouTube video), and also feedback from others that it was a busy hospital and somewhat akin to a sausage machine (I had one story of someone being in and out in 12 hours - and they didn't necessarily want to be processed so quickly), I decided to opt for Chichester. It was the right choice - indeed quieter, albeit a bit older looking, but still fit for purpose. This maternity ward is very well run, the midwife was very good and I got the epidural that I wanted (needed!) for my third baby. I would definitely recommend this hospital to any nervous mums. Getting the tour and having a chance to ask questions and familiarize oneself with the layout was really helpful in orientating me to the NHS way and allaying any fears/answering questions. My only pick up point was infant security. As I left the hospital the receptionist let me swan out - no outgoing checks, no bracelet checking, no escort to the door, nothing. It made me wonder what the protocol was should there be an attempted baby theft...

Absolutely pathetic. Been here for 9 hours still waiting to see a doctor. Got referred by 111 who…read moresaid it could be acute appendicitis, given my symptoms. Told the nurse multiple times that I'm in pain, and she said "Everyone here is in pain and I don't look so bad." I can barely walk, yet apparently, I look well enough to be put behind people who can speed walk when the nurse calls them. People who look so healthy apparently look more I'll Than I do to the nurses. I think they are racist given I'm the only brown customer here. I'm in such pain and it's not good enough compared to patients who look like they just stepped out of a magazine. Wtf, do we pay a high sum of money for every month if this is the service we get? I thought my countries' Healthcare system was bad, this is disgusting.

Even in comparison to the treatment of my father in a similar circumstance under Medicare, again the lack and shortfall of care, the severe example of no compassion that played out in the last 48 hours of her life, was simply tragic.

I had to see a specialist here today a few months after i wrote this review. the care i received was excellent and the staff i met jolly and helpful. however the toilets in reception were still not up to standard. the disabled one and a cubicle in the ladies were out of order. Out patients 2 and the pharmacy were lovely and clean. There is even a tv in the pharmacy now to pass the time. It is a good hospital but the cleanliness in the loos worry me especially as they have had MRSA outbreaks.

Over the last few decades, Brighton's flagship hospital has had so many extensions and new buildings attached to it that it now resembles a maze. I usually go in through the main entrance and find myself leaving an hour later, through a completely different exit on a different level and different wing. I've tried asking porters, nurses, doctors and complete strangers for directions and nine times out of ten, the only directions they can give is to follow the complicated Way Out signs. Of course, I think it's amazing that England still had hospitals like Royal Sussex - where you can go for free treatment, MRI scans, surgery and advice. I'm all for the NHS and health-care for everyone. I'd just like someone, somewhere to design a decent, colour-coded guide and some clear signage that allows people to navigate their way through Royal Sussex.
