Dear Fiona Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your experience of Urgent Care services at the Conquest Hospital when you recently accompanied your 95 year old relative. We're pleased that she made a 'miraculous' recovery and we hope that she is continuing to stay well. We're sorry that it was necessary for your relative to be cared for in a 'mixed sex' area, this is not what we would ideally wish for but there are occassions when it is unavoidable. Please be assured that we share all comments from patients and families with staff, this helps us to celebrate the positive feedback and learn from less positive feedback. May we also let you know that another way patients and families can give feedback is by contacting Healthwatch East Sussex.
