Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals (BSUH) is the regional teaching hospital working across two sites: the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.  The Brighton campus includes the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital and the Sussex Eye Hospital, and the Haywards Heath campus includes the Hurstwood Park Regional Centre for Neurosciences.

They provide general acute services to our local populations in and around the City of Brighton and Hove, Mid Sussex and the western part of East Sussex and more specialist and tertiary services for patients across Sussex and the south east of England.

Both hospitals provide many of the same acute services for their local populations.  In addition, the Princess Royal Hospital is our centre for elective surgery and the Royal Sussex County Hospital is our centre for emergency and critical care.  Their specialist and tertiary services include neurosciences, paediatrics, cardiac, cancer, renal, infectious diseases and HIV medicine.  They are currently developing our capability as the designated major trauma centre for the region.

Working as one hospital across two sites, and playing to the strengths of both, gives the flexibility to develop services which meet the needs of their patients at different stages of their treatment and care.

Central to our ambition is our role as an academic health sciences centre, a provider of high quality teaching, and a host hospital for cutting edge research and innovation; and on this they work with their partner Medical School (BSMS), the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Postgraduate Deanery and their local Universities.
