I would very much like to share through your newspaper my huge thanks for the excellent care I received again at the Conquest and Eastbourne DGH when I required urgent recent surgery in the core of this coronavirus pandemic! The care, kindness and professional skills I received were again amazing and as you can imagine it was a tough and worrying time all around Staff were very kind and all staff- right through from consultant Mr A Subramnian and all his team were all so professional and efficient and I will be forever grateful for yet again having such excellent care from our local NHS. I feel so lucky and so proud - especially as I have been a trained nurse myself over many years Thank you so very much indeed to you all - forever appreciated A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton: In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.
