Welcome to Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust
We are an integrated health and care Trust. As well as the services we provide at our acute care hospitals (Epsom and St Helier) we work with local GPs, mental health services, community providers and local authorities, with the joint aim of preventing people from becoming unwell, and when they do, that they receive the right care, in the right place, with the right support.
We also work as part of the St George's, Epsom and St Helier Hospital and Health Group, with a shared leadership and increasing collaboration to develop stronger clinical and corporate services between two major providers serving Surrey and South West London.

As part of that, we have secured £500m as part of the government's Hospital Infrastructure Plan to enable us to build a brand new Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Sutton and finish the refurbishment of the existing buildings on the Epsom and St Helier hospital sites.
We are committed to making all of our work places great places to work, with the right support and culture to help you excel. 'Respect' is at the heart of everything we do.
