Welcome to Surrey Downs Health & Care


Surrey Downs Health and Care (SDHC) is an innovative partnership between local NHS organisations to provide adult community health services in Surrey Downs.

 

We deliver care closer to people’s own communities through our Integrated Neighbourhood teams (INTs)  and our innovative partnership of local NHS organisations. 

We offer a wide range of services for local people in their own homes, GP practices, in community hospitals and from Epsom Hospital.

We've separated our services into four areas:

 

Bedded care within three community hospitals - Mary Seacole Unit, Molesey Hospital and Dorking Hospital.

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) which provide district nursing and adult community therapies and work closely with GP practices

Specialist Services such as community diabetes, neuro-rehabilitation and heart failure

Urgent and episodic care through our Home First services.

 

Surrey Downs Health and Care has a track record of providing person centric 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 the 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.
