Children’s A&E

Children in Brighton and Hove who need emergency hospital treatment now have their own dedicated A&E within the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital, the first stand-alone children’s emergency department in the South East.
The unit was officially opened on 31 January by Rosie and Alfie Jones, young patients at the Alex, ably assisted by actor and comedian Steve Coogan. Brighton based Rockinghorse Children’s Charity and Sussex restaurant chain Gingerman Restaurant Group have been active in supporting the opening of the new A&E. A donation of £18,250 by Gingerman allowed the charity to provide a 3D pain distraction unit, suitable child seating in the main waiting areas, a separate area for young people, and new staff uniforms.
