2 former Brighton students criticize emergency services for inadequate handling of spiking incidents.

Two former Brighton students, Imogen Turnbow and Saraya Haddad, have criticized emergency services for their handling of spiking incidents. They reported being denied drug tests and discouraged from contacting police, feeling blamed for their experiences. The South East Coast Ambulance Service acknowledged their concerns, while the Royal College of Emergency Medicine emphasized that A&E's main role is to address medical needs, not collect forensic evidence. Both women encourage victims to report such crimes.
