Graham Shaw, managing director at Willmott Dixon Interiors, said: “We are proud to be supporting UHSussex in the radical improvement of emergency hospital treatment at Royal Sussex County Hospital.
“Emergency department teams do an incredible job but they need better facilities to continue to deliver quality care. These works will lay the foundations for a multi-million pound overhaul which will deliver a raft of improvements, reducing waiting times and providing a better experience for staff and patients alike.”
James, Millar, deputy director of capital development and property at UHSussex, said: “The investment in A&E facilities at the Royal Sussex County Hospitalwill have a huge impact on the care we can provide patients. It will not only improve standards and deliver a better hospital environment, but has the potential to significantly reduce waiting times, helping the sickest patients to get the emergency care they need as quickly as possible.”
