🎉 One year. 140,000+ tests. Thousands of lives impacted.

The Community Diagnostic Centre at Southlands Hospital is celebrating its first full year of transforming healthcare, delivering faster diagnoses, shorter waiting times, and more accessible care for people across Sussex. 💙

Open 7 days a week, 8am–8pm, the CDC offers a ‘one-stop’ model with world-class CT & MRI scanners, X-ray rooms, and a wide range of diagnostic services, including echocardiography, dermatology, pathology, ultrasound, gynaecology, and respiratory procedures.

Some highlights from our first year:

💓 Heart ultrasound appointments now in just 3 weeks (down from 8!) and access to heart rate and rhythm monitoring improving from 10-12 weeks to only 4.

🫁 Lung function testing reintroduced, slashing waits from several months to a few weeks.

👩‍⚕️ 1,200+ gynaecology patients seen including 700+ on cancer pathways.

Patients are getting the care they need sooner, closer to home, and away from busy hospital settings.

Thank you to our incredible teams for making this milestone possible.

Here’s to year two — expanding capacity, enhancing patient experience, and continuing to improve care across Sussex.

On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month we paused to remember and honour the service and sacrifice of those who defended our freedom.

Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. ❤️

Our Armed Forces and veteran colleagues gathered across Sussex for remembrance services. Thanks to everyone who joined us to make these moments meaningful and memorable.

Industrial action by resident doctors begins this Friday from 7am to 7am Wednesday 19 November.

Emergency care will be prioritised, and people are reminded that 999 and A&E are still the right service when someone is seriously ill or injured, or their life is at risk.

However, for anything that isn’t a life-threatening illness or injury, please call 111 for help, advice and signposting to the most appropriate service.

A fresh new look, with the same warm welcome! ☕

We're thrilled the Royal Voluntary Service cafés at our Brighton hospitals have reopened, new and improved for our patients, staff, and visitors.

These cafés are more than just places to grab a coffee - they’re hubs of kindness and community, led by dedicated volunteers. 💜

Five a Day Greengrocer has popped up at Worthing Hospital today, right in the main entrance near Costa, serving up a delicious selection of produce to boost the wellbeing of our patients, visitors and colleagues. 🍓🫑

Catch them every Monday and Tuesday from 8am - 6pm.

🍎 Keep your eyes peeled — they’ll be bringing the goodness to Royal Sussex County Hospital later this week.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

This week, we’ve shone a light on the incredible difference our occupational therapists make every day.

Thank you to all our OT colleagues for sharing your work and showing how services are moving from treatment to prevention. We look forward to seeing teams across UHSussex bring our new strategy, Excellent Care Everywhere, to life.

Recovery isn’t just about getting back on your feet — it’s about getting back to what makes life meaningful. For many, that means being able to care for a pet again.

Our occupational therapists help patients rebuild routines, confidence, and independence one step at a time. 💚

Billy's Motorcycles in Pulborough just revved up some serious generosity at their end-of-season bash — raising an impressive £1,300 for Friends of Chichester Hospitals! 🏍️🎉

This donation will help fund vital equipment and services at St Richard’s and local mental health facilities, making a real difference for patients and staff alike. 💙

Co-owner, Charlie Sheppard shared why this cause means so much: “We chose Friends of Chichester Hospitals because of the fabulous dedication of the staff and the care they gave my wife and our very young baby a few months ago. We thought this would be a good way to show our appreciation of their valuable commitment and hard work.”

Huge thanks to Billy’s Motorcycles and their amazing community for turning burgers and bikes into a force for good. 🍔
