Conquest Hospital

Always helpful

I have had to Wisdom Teeth out this year at the Conquest Hospital. On my first visit I was so nervous and had trouble communicating with staff but it had the second visit easier as I knew who would be taking my tooth out.

The Murray unit - spent a week at 15/16 weeks pregnant as I had kidney stones. Some of the staff were really supportive and explained what was going on, however others were rude. You could hear them talk about how unhappy they were since the merger of the sites. Made me feel like I was not pregnant enough so not important. I delivered in Eastbourne but had to be transferred back to Hastings , I Sat in a broken bed post delivery for hours, I was not checked or given the chance to wash, I had a new nurse who did not know the protocol for the ward, where things were and I felt for her, went to the bathroom, which was filthy and had a pool of blood on the floor, very little checking on me despite the blood loss, just left to get on with it, no-one asked if I needed help with breastfeeding or the baby and felt very alone especially at night. Took 8 hrs for them to get discharged papers as it was so busy and could hear conversations between nurses and doctors about how under pressure they where.

I was induced at the Conquest due to being well over due. This ultimately lead to me having to have a c section.
Every single member of staff, was amazing! They were all so friendly and helpful which really made what was quite a traumatic experience a lot better.

I went to Mirlees Ward when I had a missed miscarriage, staff were so kind and so helpful. Staff went out of their way to make sure I was ok.

Attended A&E a fortnight ago.

I was seen very quickly after being referred by 111.

The staff were great, even though they seemed rushed off their feet.

I was always kept up to date with what was going on.

My husband had emergency hernia surgery. All staff totally brilliant. Just fed up for you and how some patients treat you. Totally unjustified and I did correct some of them!!

Staff are very good never to date had any bad experiences at the Conquest for myself.

I phoned to tell the hospital I was running late due to transport delays and knowing i had the last appointment slot i was concerned with the response but the receptionist was very understanding and said it would be ok they are running late yourselves.

When my little boy was rushed to hospital at Easter the staff at the conquest were amazing. Every single one of them from the paramedics to the doctors made sure he got the best care and I was kept up to date with everything going on. It was a frightening experience and luckily he is now fine but it would have been so much more traumatic if I hadn't had such excellent support and treatment
