Conquest Hospital

Having been diagnosed with adult asthma towards the end of last year, and having experienced various complications connected to that, I have been to the Conquest quite a few times since then. Each time I have found the staff helpful and efficient. I have always been treated with courtesy and care, and the waiting time is usually pretty reasonable.Depending on the time of day, parking can be difficult, but on the whole my experience as an out patient at the Conquest is a good one - and all the people I have spoken to who have been to the Conquest said they were also impressed with the service and care they received.

I've waited over 12 weeks for an MRI scan. My GP told me it would take 4-6 weeks.

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.
