I had to go to the X-ray department this afternoon for a knee X-ray and explained to a very lovely young man called Ron. He was so kind and made me feel at ease immediately. Thank you so much. I was so worried about coming on my own but once in the department felt great.
Very good
An excellent choice for a private patient on the Chichester ward
Attended Emergency Department for head injury caused by trip & fall, headbutting the paving. The treatment I received, from triage examination to CT scan of head & neck, was good, thorough and well- executed.The staff were caring & professional and I've nothing but praise for them. However, the whole process took 6 hours. I appreciate that is probably quick by current NHS standards, given the chronic underfunding of the past, staff shortages & inadequate facilities, but it was nontheless frustrating for it to take so long and not to be kept informed unless I asked. Before attending SRH, I went to Bognor Hospital Minor Injury unit only to be turned away because it doesn't have any scanners. There's a mobile scanning trailer parked at Chichester University a mere half mile away!! Why not park it at Bognor Hospital and USE IT?!!!
As is usual across the NHS, patients were on gurneys, in two corridors. How much longer does this afront to decency in 2025 have to continue before the Govt bites the bullet, actually unblocks healthcare AND MAKES IT WORK.
PS. The NHS also needs to work smarter; no more 8am-6pm 5 days a week GPs & "Minor Injuries Clinics". People need treatment 7 days a week and more community based availability will take the pressures off Emergency Depts.
I was treated in the ophthalmic centre and was treated with the utmost respect. My condition and treatments were discussed with me in simple understandable terms
On my recent visit to the fracture clinic for my post op appointment for hip surgery with Mr Obakponovwe he was very thorough and reassuring. The rest of the staff from the receptionist, nursing staff and radiologist were very efficient and I couldn’t fault the service I received.
I Was not treated at all threatened and felt like a problem. Surgeon and doctors here think there gods disgusting services available here
I’m a regular patient at St Richards hospital as I have several health issues , every dept I attend gives excellent consideration and care for your allotted treatment , nurses and doctors are first class and explain everything to you , your appointment times are on time or as good as , every dept is nice and clean and well looked after , this is a wonderful caring hospital and we are very lucky it’s local to to many of us , thanks to all who work at St Richards doctors, nurses , and all other employees you all are a credit to our NHS ...
I was operated on in the day care unit at St Richards in early September 2023.
The experience was overwhelmingly positive and there was nothing I would change at all.
The staff on the recovery ward were outstanding: calm, very skilled and extremely caring. I could have stayed longer quite happily! Excellent.

We were in A&E 7 hrs before we found out that the computer didn’t register us. When we were finally seen by a triage nurse we were told that there wasn’t an optometrist on duty. We were advised to go to Queen Alexandra hospital in Cosham. When we were seen there we were advised that there was no optometrist on duty. Overall our experience from 7pm to 8am the following day was totally unacceptable.
