Working for our organisation
We are truly an integrated health and care Trust. In simple terms, that means that as well as the services we provide at our acute care hospitals (Epsom in Surrey and St Helier nearby in south west London) we work with local GPs, mental health services, community providers and local authorities, with the joint aim of preventing local people from becoming unwell, and when they do, that they receive the right care, in the right place, with the right support.
So, as well as great hospital care, together we offer an increasing range of services. These include adult community health, sexual health and children's therapies. Many of these community services are run by the partnerships we host, Surrey Downs Health and Care and Sutton Health and Care.
Continuing the partnership theme, we also host and run some exceptional hospital-based services including the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Service – rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) – and we also have the largest nephrology (care around kidney disease) service in the UK, that isn't co-located with a transplant service.
We also work as part of the St George’s, Epsom and St Helier Hospital and Health Group, with a shared leadership and increasing collaboration to develop stronger clinical and corporate services between two major providers serving Surrey and South West London
