Arun Public Meeting - Improving hospital-based stroke services in W Sussex

NHS Sussex

Come and talk to us about improving hospital-based stroke services in West Sussex.

Felpham Community Hall & Conference Centre

The NHS in Sussex wants everyone to benefit from safe, effective, and high-quality stroke services when they need them.We are proud of the high-quality care our clinical teams provide to patients. However, we need to address some challenges to current services to ensure we are meeting the needs of local people.Keeping services the way they are will not help us make the improvements that are required. To meet the needs of people now and in the future, we need to change how stroke services are delivered.For the past two years we have carried out a review of stroke services in the coastal area of West Sussex. These are the services people would use if they are in Adur, Arun, Chichester, Worthing and south of Horsham.The review was led by clinicians from stroke services, GP practices and the ambulance service. It has identified improvements we need to make to provide the best care to the people who live, work and visit our communities.Our proposal is for an acute stroke centre to be developed at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, led by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust.This proposal would mean people in the coastal area of West Sussex would go to St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester or to the Comprehensive Stroke Centre at Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.This would mean Worthing Hospital would no longer be a place that people experiencing stroke would be taken for care. Working together, these two stroke centres in Chichester and Brighton would ensure everyone in West Sussex is within a 60-minute ambulance journey to a stroke centre staffed by the right specialists, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our analysis of ambulance journey times shows that most ambulance journeys are under 45 minutes.This is an opportunity to find out more, ask questions, share your views, and talk directly with the clinicians and executive members of NHS Sussex and University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust about the proposal.
