Nuffield Health

I had to go here today for an appointment arranged by an insurance company after a road accident, as I don’t normally have private health cover.
The hospital’s worst facet is its location — located in Woodingdean, it’s a good 20 minutes plus from the centre of Brighton (allow 30 minutes in rush hour) and the bus services are not that frequent in the evening.
There’s plenty of parking on the site though — just don’t try driving there if there’s a race meeting on at nearby Brighton racecourse.
The interior of the modern building feels more like a budget hotel than a hospital, with carpet and sofas but bland décor in the spacious reception, and everything in good order and kept clean. Waiting rooms have free coffee and tea available — part of the difference between the private and state sectors, I guess.
All the staff were very pleasant and helpful, from the reception to the treatment room, and the treatment itself — physiotherapy — was very thorough indeed and gave the impression that they all the time that I might needed.
