 If you have an opinion about the hospital redevelopment,
   please speak to a member of staff or complete a form.

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals and the 3Ts redevelopment
team are dedicated to building the best possible hospital, both inside
and out. This is why we actively engage with local residents, interest
groups, patients and statutory bodies about the project. One of the
results of the process so far can be seen in the two images below.

                   The new hospital design - January 2010

                   The new hospital design - June 2010

These changes occurred after extensive consultation with local residents,
English Heritage, local interest groups and Brighton and Hove City
Council planners.

The consultation and engagement programme around the hospital
redevelopment doesn’t end with the outside of the building. Regular
design meetings are held with healthcare professionals, expert patients
and users of services to optimise the design of all the departments in the
new buildings. The engagement programme will continue to connect
with people from across the city and the region to ensure the best
healthcare future for all the users of the Royal Sussex County Hospital.
