The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, managing seven hospitals across five different sites, issued an urgent notice on Tuesday afternoon regarding the extreme busyness at the A&E departments of Worthing and St Richard’s hospitals. The Trust emphasizes the remarkable efforts of its staff who are tirelessly working to provide care for patients amid this challenging situation.
The Trust appeals to the public for kindness and understanding when visiting any of their hospitals. They stress that A&E departments should only be visited for life-threatening emergencies, especially given the current high volume of patients, particularly in West Sussex.
