Engage with the NHS "micro-economy" in Sussex

With a £1.6bn budget, 20,000+ staff & a footfall of 1.4 M, NHS UHSussex is more than a healthcare provider, it's an economy to be part of!
About this Event

University Hospitals Sussex (UHSussex) is more than a healthcare provider; it is the financial engine of our local community. With an annual turnover of approximately £1.65 billion, the Trust acts as an "anchor institution" that intentionally roots its wealth within Sussex.

We invite you to a breakfast introduction to discover how your business could plug into this thriving micro-economy, through My Charity and our First 50 Club.

The Trust is currently overseeing some of the largest infrastructure projects in the South East, creating a continuous "pipeline" of work for regional firms. Key opportunities include:

Massive Capital Investment

"Local First" Procurement

Social Value Advantage

A Hub for Innovation

As the region’s largest employer, UHSussex sustains the local high street. The vast majority of our staff budget is spent within Sussex postcodes, supporting local retail, housing, travel, housing and leisure. By partnering with us, we can develop concepts to raise your brand’s visibility, not only to this internal audience of 20,000+, but also the 1.4 million potential customers who visit our hospitals and sites each year.
