Who we are and what we do
At Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, we’re proud to care for one of the most diverse and vibrant communities in London. Croydon is the capital’s largest borough, and our teams look after more than 380,000 local people every single day.
We think of ourselves as a trailblazer in joined-up care. By breaking down barriers between hospital, community and social care services, we’re making it easier for people to get the support they need — and helping our staff use their skills where they can make the biggest difference.
Croydon University Hospital
Our main site and home to Croydon’s only Emergency Department, often receiving more ambulances than some major trauma centres. CUH offers over 100 specialist services, including 24/7 maternity care, and has recently benefited from major investment in new facilities like a children’s unit and a state-of-the-art intensive care unit.
Purley War Memorial Hospital
Located in south Croydon, PWMH provides outpatient and diagnostic services. Soon it will also be home to one of 50 new surgical hubs in England, with new operating theatres, short-stay wards, and diagnostics to help reduce waiting times.
Community Health Services
We care for people in every corner of Croydon. This includes:
-
Home treatment for children with cancer
-
Support for adults with long-term conditions
-
Vital services for asylum seekers and people experiencing homelessness

Our people and culture
Our workforce is one of the most diverse in the NHS — more than half of our people come from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic backgrounds, almost double the national average. This reflects the community we serve and makes Croydon an exciting, inclusive place to work.
Working in partnership
Through the One Croydon Alliance and the South West London Integrated Care System, we’re joining forces with partners across health and social care. Together, we’re improving services, reducing inequalities, and creating opportunities for our people to grow and thrive.
