About Surrey Downs Health and Care:
Surrey Downs Health and Care delivers care closer to people’s own communities through our Primary Care Networks, Community Hospitals, Specialist Services, and our innovative partnership of local NHS organisations.

We have a track record of providing person-centered care that goes beyond organisational boundaries to do what is best for the individual. This partnership includes:

• The three GP federations: GP Health Partners, Dorking Health Care, and Surrey Medical Network representing practices that operate in the Surrey Downs area.
• CSH Surrey.
• Epsom and St Helier’s University Hospitals NHS Trust.
• Surrey County Council.

Historically, there have been boundary lines between the organisations that provide care to people in their homes, in GP surgeries, and in hospitals, but we have always been united in our mission to provide great care to the people who need us.

It’s on those grounds that Surrey Downs Health and Care was formed – we want local people to receive the care that they need in the right environment. By bringing together our expertise, we can improve patient care and enable local people to access the right support, care, and treatment more easily than ever before.

In bringing this partnership together, we are working to the same set of values that will translate into better care for our residents.
