About us

Based within the high-achieving Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the Chichester Suite at St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester and the Downlands Suite in Worthing Hospital offer you the best of both worlds.
The private suites combine the dedicated care, added privacy and “hotel style” service you would expect from a private hospital with the specialist interventions, state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging facilities and round-the-clock, acute hospital services available 365 days a year in the NHS Trust.
- The Chichester Suite is a 16 bed private patients unit based in St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester.
- The Downlands Suite is a 5 bed private patients unit based in Worthing Hospital.
Our specialist consultants are based at the hospitals and have developed highly-skilled teams, providing you with the highest levels of treatment and care.
The private patient units work alongside and build upon the excellent, patient-focused healthcare existing already within the Trust.
As part of the Care Quality Commission’s ‘intelligent monitoring’ classification, the Trust is in the highest-performing band judged to offer the “best & safest care” for patients.
