Eastbourne District General Hospital

Had a terrible experience here recently with our baby, have an official complaint in amd hope it makes a difference for another family. Will never go to this hospital again.

I was taken in to MRU because I took an overdose, the staff were so welcoming and comforting. They helped you if you needed anything and the service they provided for all of the patients was outstanding! They where very busy but handled the situations very well. When I had my 4 year old niece visit me in day 2 the staff where very good and made her feel very welcome even though hospitals are scary to kids. Over all I couldn't of asked for nicer people to treat me I'm thankful for the service they provide.

Attended with my Dad following him having an accident at work. A&E staff were very attentive from the porters to the nurses and consultants. Arm/wrist was reset and plastered and operation scheduled for soon after. Orthopaedic outpatients also very efficient. No complaints from us, thanks for looking after my Dad!!

My little girl stopped breathing at home one afternoon, very unexpected so called 999, we were taken to EDGH as Hastings was too far in this emergency! The care my child & myself recieved was amazing...it was the most awful experience but the staff made it that little bit easier. We wish we could of stayed at EDGH but unfortunately, like the case with all children we were transferred to Hastings! Their care was also brill but its just too far from home, especially when you have other children!

My daughter was in hospital as she ended up catching reactive arthritis from a viral infection and they kept the children's dept open a bit later for us so we didn't have to be over night at Hastings and they were very patient with her as she was afraid of having a blood test

Short waiting times
Polite staff
Clean hygienic and Child Friendly
Defo wouldn't change hospitals

My boy suffered on going asthma attacks and bronchitis several times a year from 10months old to 4 years old resulting in numerous nightly admissions. Friston ward and the nurses were incredible to all of us xxx

Amberley ward was great. Helped me through so much.

A fast quick efficient service, that was friendly and prompt.
With the improvements going on in the department there could've been problems, instead a smooth service was given.

Admitted following spontaneous pneumothorax and chest drain insertion to m.a.u for 2 weeks. Pain relief management was appalling. Left for hours in unthinkable pain without any medication even after it had been requested.
