Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust

Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust (ESTH) provides a range of acute hospital and medical services to approximately 490,000 people living across south west London and north east Surrey and beyond. In addition, ESTH provides specialist services, in particular renal and neonatal intensive care, to a wider area, covering Surrey and parts of Sussex and Hampshire, and hosts the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC) partnership. The Trust’s main commissioners are South West London Integrated Care Board and Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board. It also has a sizable specialist service contract with NHS England in relation to renal services, and we have exciting plans to improve how we deliver acute inpatient renal services in South West London and Surrey by integrating them into a new joint renal unit on the St George’s hospital site.ESTH’s two main acute sites are St Helier Hospital in the London Borough of Sutton, within the South West London Integrated Care System, and Epsom Hospital in Surrey, within the Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System. The Trust also provides out-reach services at a number of more locally-based care centres and is moving to increasingly integrated models of care working with local community, primary, and other service providers.ESTH is the host for the delivery of community health services across both of its local place-based communities of Surrey Downs and Sutton. Our community contracts are delivered through contractual joint ventures and alliance agreements (Surrey Downs in partnership with the 3 local GP Federations and the community trust and Sutton in partnership with the local GP Federation, local authority and mental health trust). Discharging its host responsibilities to a high standard and working in partnership to transform pathways across hospital and community settings is a key priority for the future.The Trust is also committed to the Building Your Future Hospital Programme, which will see the construction of a new, state-of-the-art Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Sutton. This will bring together AandE, critical care, acute medicine, emergency surgery, inpatient paediatrics, and births in hospital on our Sutton site, meaning that clinical expertise, experience and resource will be in one place, 24/7, improving patient safety, sustainability and staffing levels. This Programme will also provide the means to significantly improve existing infrastructure at both Epsom and St Helier hospitals.ESTH values“Above all we value RESPECT”It helps ESTH to live our behaviours:So we can achieve our mission statement: outstanding care, together.St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
