After a long period of collaborative working, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUH) merged with Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WSHT) in April 2021 to form University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (UHSussex). This integration has created one of the largest acute trusts in the UK and a workforce of 20,000, hosting 1.5 million outpatient appointments, A&E visits and surgery cases every year.
UHSussex is a vibrant and inclusive organisation with patient care at our core. Our hard-working, talented and dedicated people work together towards a common goal - to always put our Patient First. Allied to this, in January 2022, we launched our Patient First, Planet First Green Plan setting out our approach to supporting the NHS to become the world's first net zero health service.
This is an exciting time to join UHSussex. Our new 3Ts Hospital, part of the Government's Future Hospitals Programme, will open in 2023. The hospital is a critical part of the Trust's strategic vision, including delivery of its clinical strategy, representing an opportunity to improve system wide services for people across Sussex.
