Download a leaflet from East Sussex Hospitals with advice on avoiding health problems while on holiday.
Every year, thousands of visitors enjoy the seaside attractions and the beautiful countryside around Eastbourne.
During the busy summer months, East Sussex Hospitals see around 200 extra patients who are on holiday but need urgent medical assistance.
Although some of these patients have unavoidable medical problems, for others, some simple precautions could be the difference between an enjoyable holiday or having to spend time in our hospital.
