Worthing and Southlands Hospitals NHS Trust

Worthing and Southlands Hospitals NHS Trust was a public healthcare organization within the UK National Health Service that served the population of West Sussex. It operated Worthing Hospital as an acute center for emergency and specialized care, while Southlands Hospital focused on elective surgery, diagnostics, and outpatient services. The trust provided a comprehensive range of medical services, including maternity, oncology, and orthopedics. In 2009, the trust merged with Royal West Sussex NHS Trust to form Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust. This entity later merged with Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals in 2021 to form the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. The organization was primarily focused on clinical care delivery rather than pharmaceutical research and development.
