Surrey Downs Health & Care

The service provides joined up, coordinated care to local citizens with health and social care needs and aims to support them to live as independently as possible by offering rapid multidisciplinary assessment and support at times of crisis. The team offers a crisis response assessment within 2 hours of referral and, to mitigate the risk of a hospital admission, provides service users with a short-term, high intensity package of care in the person’s own home as an alternative to hospital admission. We have developed a 3-locality based approach to service delivery, with opportunities to be based within our Dorking, East Elmbridge or Epsom Urgent Community Response services. The teams provide a 7 day/week service from 8am to 8pm.

Post holders will be working as part of an integrated multidisciplinary team including Nurses, GPs, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Rehabilitation Support Workers, Healthcare Assistants and Administrators as well as Adult Social Care and the voluntary sector. The post holder will be working across acute hospital (Emergency Department) and community.

Paramedics have a key role within both supported discharge and prevention of admission to support individuals to optimise their independence and wellbeing.

Surrey Downs Health and Care deliver care closer to people’s own communities through our Primary Care Networks, Community Hospitals, Specialist Services and our innovative partnership of local NHS organisations.

Surrey Downs Health And Care Has a Track Record Of Providing Person Centered 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 Council County

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.
