Conquest Hospital: We are here if you need us
People who may be ignoring health concerns and putting off going to hospital, even if they need urgent or emergency assistance, are being urged to seek help.
The health trust which runs the Conquest Hospital and Eastbourne DGH says the two acute hospitals are open and are still providing safe, high quality, urgent and emergency care services for those people that need them.
Medical director Dr David Walker said: “Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, we have seen a drop off in urgent and emergency hospital attendances, for example new referrals for cancer, and people presenting with heart attacks and strokes. Some parents are not bringing their sick children to hospital and some pregnant women not attending if they have concerns about their pregnancy.
