We are a busy hospital, dealing with both first opinions and referrals. We were founded in 1958 and are now part of a larger group: IVC Evidensia. We are also in partnership with Vetsnow, who look after our Out Of Hours operation, on-site. We have approximately 85 team members across 7 sites. Our specialist services include diagnostic imaging with on-site CT, orthopaedics, cardiology, soft tissue medicine, and internal medicine. We have a fully equipped Dental Suite and endoscopic and laparoscopic equipment. We also have an on-site laboratory, spacious staff training room (with PCs available for use), and a well-equipped and comfortable staff break room for when you need to take 5!

We are located in the vibrant seaside town of Worthing on the South Coast. We are in between the beautiful seafront and the stunning South Downs. We have several train stations nearby, with links to Gatwick and London, less than an hour away.
