Review titled Exceptional A & E Department, even on a Sunday.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Gareth Bell - Posted on 14 May 2024
I had been having symptoms on and off for a month and was going to wait and try and contact my GP Surgery on the Monday. However, my symptoms got worse on the Sunday so I got a taxi to A & E. I was triaged within 5 minutes, had an ECG and bloods taken within 30 minutes. All staff were very caring, empathetic, highly efficient and reassuring. A & E were very thorough as they repeated my ECG and blood test to check for any abnormalities that may have developed over 2-3 hours. I was fully informed by all staff at all times. The Doctor was also exceptional and very comprehensive in assessment. I also had a chest X-ray to rule out other issues. In short, the A & E Department is amazing. You can see that all staff communicate effectively with each other, keep me as the patient informed at all times, are very caring, highly efficient, understanding, detailed, comprehensive, exceptional communicators. I give Worthing A & E 10 out of 10. They are all amazing at what they do, even on a Sunday.

Review titled Outstanding care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Keith Bennett - Posted on 16 May 2024
My grandson had several severe injuries on admission the team and one senior nurse in particular went above and beyond to help him. He had a Brokem wrist, sprained thumb, deep laceration to knee and his braces had torn open his cheek and had become imbedded into his cheek. The care given to him was exemplary and the interaction between nurse and my grandson was amazing. I cannot express our thanks enough for how we were treated throughout the time we were there. Thank you to all the team involved and especially the young lady (doing her masters degree).

Review titled Not sure
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 April 2024
My appointment only lasted about 10 minutes and I felt the advise I was given was very minimal. The surgeon was very polite and listened to me when I explained I have been in a lot of pain with swelling and was admitted to A& E a while back with an infection. I am very concerned the infection might come back and was advised to massage my jaw with e45 cream! I explained I have been massaging my jaw and using a warm compresses but it hasn't helped. I feel I need a second opinion as I'm not happy with the consultation.

Review titled Worse service A&E
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 May 2024
I took my husband on 30/04/24 at 2:30 pm waited over 7 hours and had been told at 9 pm no doctor to see any patients, go back home. And when asked to give blood test result she said it was all clear but sent to our go he had increased white cell so got an infection in his body. Why they lied to us . And did not give ECG report at all. They are horrible nhs staff at Wirthing hospital. Hope I don’t have to go there in rest of my life. My husband is still in a lot of pain . Seen GP yesterday she has referred to endoscopy. Hope they do it soon. Now days we have to die with out any treatment and f wait for NHS.

Went in with chest pains (angina proven on ECG by paramedics) left in main A&E waiting room for 3.5 hrs. Kept being told “there is one person before you” ended up leaving as chest pain had warn off, but later reoccurred at home.

From the moment my husband arrived in A&E last week, he has received superb care from all members of the team. Discharged today - glad to be home but also thankful for the NHS and, on this occasion, Worthing Hospital in particular.
