The A & E is extremely busy, that is why I would not recommend it, I was there for 7 hours, but all the staff , medical & receptionists were all very polite & helpful.

Dear Janice, We are sorry that you endured a long waiting time when you recently attended the Emergency Department, as this is not what we would wish. This is unfortunately unavoidable on occasion due to the volume of patients attending for a wide range of illness/injuries. We were however pleased to hear that all the staff you encountered demonstrated the Trust values by being polite and helpful in their interactions with you.

I was given an urgent appointment at the tiaClinic on Wednesday 14th February following a tia the previous day. All my fears and concerns were quickly dispelled by the professional and friendly reassurance I was give by the Consultant and his Nursing staff. A big thank you to you all from a very grateful patient. All my experiences at Eastbourne hospital have been positive.

Amazing service. I visited after a fall and suspected my wrist was broken. Seen quickly and sent for an x-ray which confirmed it. The whole process wàs about an hour with a follow up appointment the next day. The care and courtesy of all staff involved was exceptional and I can't thank them enough.

Superb service from the urology department. The time between rectal examination at my doctors in Hastings, ultrasound scan at Hastings Conquest hospital, MRI scan at Eastbourne hospital through biopsy at Eastbourne, and being given my results, took just over a month

Review titled Always kind, friendly staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Wendy Potton - Posted on 08 November 2023
I had a CT scan on Thursday and was looked after by the Cardiology and Radiology staff. I've always been touched by how kind the DGH staff are and my experience on Thursday morning was as good as ever. Was especially impressed by the Cardiology Sister who treated me just like a friend. I'm sure not many people say anything (and I couldn't seem to leave a Google review) but us patients really do appreciate your kindness.

Review titled Excellent Staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Christopher Woolley - Posted on 30 November 2023
Referral made my local optician. I was seen at the appointment time, there was no waiting. Every member of staff was charming, hugely helpful and gave a thorough explanation of what the particular procedure was. The doctor was very thorough and went out of her way to ensure my understanding. Well done every one and thankyou.

Review titled So impressed.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Derek - Posted on 26 October 2023
I have to leave a review as I have had continually good treatment from the Urology Dept at the DGH. From receptionist to the nurses that deal with my Flexi-Cystoscopy's. A Dr was present at my last one (he had also dealt with me one time before this) so patient, so calm and reassuring, so professional. I feel so unlucky to have a cancer and yet so lucky to live in Eastbourne where i receive this fantastic treatment. Thanks so much.
