MATERNITY: Having given birth to my first 2 children in the US - where everything is covered by…read moreHealth Insurance and you get to control most things about your birth experience (because you're paying), I'll admit it was with some trepidation that I undertook the NHS version of obstetrics. However, having been put off by Queen Alexandra's Hospital in Portsmouth by their lack of physical tour (you have to get by with a substandard YouTube video), and also feedback from others that it was a busy hospital and somewhat akin to a sausage machine (I had one story of someone being in and out in 12 hours - and they didn't necessarily want to be processed so quickly), I decided to opt for Chichester. It was the right choice - indeed quieter, albeit a bit older looking, but still fit for purpose. This maternity ward is very well run, the midwife was very good and I got the epidural that I wanted (needed!) for my third baby. I would definitely recommend this hospital to any nervous mums. Getting the tour and having a chance to ask questions and familiarize oneself with the layout was really helpful in orientating me to the NHS way and allaying any fears/answering questions. My only pick up point was infant security. As I left the hospital the receptionist let me swan out - no outgoing checks, no bracelet checking, no escort to the door, nothing. It made me wonder what the protocol was should there be an attempted baby theft...

On arrival by ambulance I was immediately taken to triage and passed through the various departments with total efficiency.

The hospital's worst facet is its location - located in Woodingdean, it's a good 20 minutes plus from the centre of Brighton (allow 30 minutes in rush hour) and the bus services are not that frequent in the evening. There's plenty of parking on the site though - just don't try driving there if there's a race meeting on at nearby Brighton racecourse. The interior of the modern building feels more like a budget hotel than a hospital, with carpet and sofas but bland décor in the spacious reception, and everything in good order and kept clean. Waiting rooms have free coffee and tea available - part of the difference between the private and state sectors, I guess. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful, from the reception to the treatment room, and the treatment itself - physiotherapy - was very thorough indeed and gave the impression that they all the time that I might needed.

St Helier Hospital... What can I say really? This is the second time in 3 years I've had to use the…read moreA&E here and it really is not fun. The first time, I saw the triage nurse, got sent to a GP on site, only to be referee back to A&E and admitted for a week. The care was excellent over the week from the other nurses, but I was just restless. The second time, I had to wait in A&E for over two hours after waiting for blood samples to be taken. The triage nurse was very rude, however the Dr was lovely, taking an interest in my profession and having a chat about Brexit! If you didn't know it was a hospital, St Helier looks a bit like a prison with its fading white walls and unkept exterior. It's been kind of decorated inside though so it's not all bad!

The ground floor passage in the main building leads through into different floors in other parts, which leads to a little confusion, at first. The care I received was excellent, from Nurses, Doctors and Consultants, and I consider the hospital as the best among the ten+ hospitals that I have been treated in. Every two or three days, my bed and furniture were moved around the ward, so that total cleaning of all floors, walls, and ceilings could take place. This was to prevent MRSA, which was, and is, very common in almost new hospitals, which are probably cleaned a lot less often. The food is pretty good, including in the cafeteria. The late Goon, Harry Secombe was a fan of this hospital and he equipped it with one of the first CAT scans in England.
