I was surprised to read the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton will be running a bladder cancer trial and a hospital spokesman had said the hospital was keen to be recognised as a centre of excellence in the treatment and care of bladder cancer patients (May 2).
Is this the same hospital that continues to cancel beds at a moment's notice with scant regard for the stress and upset that causes?
The same hospital that administers chemotherapy in an open general ward?
The same hospital that has sent my 77-year-old mother home two days after her operation and treatment to an empty house with no aftercare and no support?
A centre of excellence is not a name that springs to my mind. If this is the hospital's excellent care and treatment, thank goodness my mother still has us.
