University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust 2021 was formed on 1 April 2021, with the merger of Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUH) and Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WSHT). Some departments within the former Trusts are expected to operate individually for some time to ensure there is no disruption to our services. We will provide information relevant to the new Trust where possible, however, it may be necessary for us to report information held by both former Trusts separately. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
