Croydon Health Services
Croydon Health Services NHS Trust serves one of the largest and most diverse boroughs in the capital.
Our 4,500 dedicated staff and volunteers cover every corner of the borough, caring for people of all ages at home and in our community services close to where they live. This includes specialist home treatment for children with cancer and long-term conditions, and a 24/7 Rapid Response Service to assess older patients within two hours of being referred by their GP. We also provide dedicated health services to some of the most vulnerable in our community, including asylum seekers and people experiencing homelessness.
The Trust is a trailblazer in integration and partnership working, bringing together health and care services in Croydon to help people live and stay well. It is a founding partner of the innovative One Croydon Alliance, which brings the NHS, social care and voluntary sectors closer together to join-up the care and support available for over 385,000 residents.
Croydon has been a forerunner in COVID-19 recovery, with a virus-protected ‘hospital within a hospital’ introduced shortly after the first wave of the pandemic, which reduced waits for planned care as part of a coordinated response across the NHS in South West London.
Our main site, Croydon University Hospital provides more than 100 specialist services and is home to the intensive care unit, Emergency Department and 24/7 maternity services, including a labour ward and midwifery-led birth centre.
