In light of extreme and sustained operational pressures both in our emergency departments and across the wards, we have declared a business continuity incident at Eastbourne DGH to ensure the safety and continuity of our services.
Please support us by only attending our emergency departments for serious or life-threatening emergencies. Please share our posts on social media to help us let as many people know as possible that they should consider other health services, such as your GP, pharmacies or NHS 111. This helps ensure that our hospitals can care for those who need them most.
