About us

Croydon is a trailblazer in integration to join-up the health and care services available for local people and breakdown barriers between professional teams to make the most of our workforce and expertise.

The Trust runs two hospitals, north and south of the borough. Its main campus, Croydon University Hospital, is home to the borough's only Emergency Department and often receives more ambulances than many major trauma centres.

The hospital provides more than 100 specialist services, including 24/7 maternity care.

An ongoing investment programme is also transforming the facilities available, with a dedicated new children's unit and multi-million pound intensive care unit opening in 2023.

The Trust has one of the most diverse workforce profiles in the capital, with more than half of its staff from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic groups - almost twice the national average - reflecting the diverse communities it cares for. At the same time, the Trust is increasing its role as an anchor intuition at the heart of its local community. As the borough's largest employer, this includes supporting local business through kick-starters and apprenticeships to increase employment, and working with local universities to train the next generation of health and care workers in Croydon.
