Hi I have just joined this site and I am a severe, brittle asthmatic with iTU admissions in the past.

Could someone please tell me what COSTA is? I have realised it means hospital but could someone kindly tell me what it stands for?

Many thanks

Welcome to the forums!

It basicly means hospital. It came from Costa del sol etc which are nice places and we named hospitals Costa del nhs as a sarcastic name for the nhs.

Once again welcome to the forums!!

It's a fantastic forum from what I've been reading up on - very interesting and helpful, thanks
