Surrey Downs Health And Care has a track record of providing person‑centred 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.

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.
