The Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology provides services for the Surrey Heartland ICS and adjacent areas. A full range of gynaecological and obstetric services is provided on site.
The Royal Surrey Hospital Trust is a thriving District General Hospital serving the people of Surrey and the population of the bordering counties. Our Maternity Department has an excellent reputation having just been awarded ‘Outstanding’ at the recent CQC inspection and our general gynaecology services cover all aspects of women’s care. The Royal Surrey Maternity Department is one of only a few organisations in the country to be awarded the UNICEF’s Baby Friendly Gold Award.
