Worthing Hospital

About Worthing Hospital

Worthing Hospital is a medium-sized District General Hospital located in Worthing, West Sussex, England. It has approximately 500 beds. In 2001 a £1. 3m Children’s Centre opened, enabling almost all children’s healthcare needs to be met under one roof. The hospital is now run by Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which also runs Southlands Hospital in Shoreham-by-Sea and St Richard's Hospital in Chichester. It was previously run by Worthing & Southlands Hospitals NHS Trust, which merged with the Royal West Sussex NHS Trust in April 2009. In July 2013 it became a Foundation Trust.
The hospital is located just north-east of Worthing town centre, between Homefield Park and Beach House Park.
In 2011 the Hospital invested £14 Million building a children's A& E, two new wards and an outpatients department. It has since built a new Breast Screening Unit.
The hospital was threatened with downsizing or closure as part of the NHS Strategic Health Authority's 'Fit For The Future' proposal. A series of marches and protest events were held in both Worthing and Chichester against the plans.
