University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is one of southern England's largest acute providers, employing nearly 20,000 staff and serving around 1.8 million people. It runs seven hospitals across Brighton, Haywards Heath, Worthing, Shoreham-by-Sea and Chichester, including Royal Sussex County, Princess Royal, Worthing and St Richard's hospitals.
The group also includes Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital, Sussex Eye Hospital and Southlands Hospital. Alongside district general hospital care, it provides wider specialist services in neurosciences, vascular surgery, neonatology, paediatrics, cardiac and renal medicine, cancer, infectious diseases and HIV. Created in 2021 by bringing Brighton and western Sussex hospital organisations together, the trust is a major teaching and research centre working with universities and health partners across Sussex.
