Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust was formed in April 1998 by merger between East Surrey Healthcare NHS and Crawley Horsham NHS Trusts. It runs East Surrey Hospital in Redhill and outpatient services at Catherham Dene Hospital, Oxted Health Centre, in Surrey, and at Crawley Hospital, Horsham and Queen Victoria Hospital in West Sussex, England.
Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust is a major local employer, with a diverse workforce of around 3,500 providing healthcare services to a growing population of around 535,000.
The trust was one of five to benefit from a five-year, £12.5m programme announced by Jeremy Hunt in July 2015 to bring in Virginia Mason Medical Center to assist the English NHS using their clinical engagement and culture tools including the Patient Safety Alert System and electronic dashboard. Hunt said “The achievements at Virginia Mason over the past decade are truly inspirational and I’m delighted they will now help NHS staff to learn the lessons that made their hospital one of the safest in the world – patients will see real benefits as a result.” [1]
It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 3161 full time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 3.33%. 77% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 70% recommended it as a place to work.[2]
