Welcome to Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust
Thank you for showing an interest in working with us at Epsom and St Helier - a family of more than 7,000 colleagues.
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.
