The project to build the Sussex Surgical Centre started in August 2023.
The scheme will deliver a modern, purpose-built day surgery unit which will include a pre-assessment area, four theatres, admission, recovery and discharge space plus associated support facilities. The new unit will undertake procedures for ten hours per day, initially for five days per week before moving to six.
It will offer residents from across Sussex the opportunity to have their day surgery procedure performed more quickly and in a purpose-built environment that allows extra capacity to address both current and future surgical needs.
We have received £22.5 million from NHS England’s Elective Recovery Plan with additional funding coming from NHS Sussex.
The new elective hub is due to open in the Spring of 2025.
