Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

It is one of three large trusts in the South East Coast area which may compete to offer new services in its area, the others being Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust and Sussex Partnership NHS Trust.[1]

The Trust's memory services serving a minority of its area, Runnymede and West Elmbridge, achieved the top rating in a national accreditation scheme developed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2012.[2]

In November 2013 the Trust was inspected by the Care Quality Commission whose teams spent three days checking the Trust's services. They found "safety and suitability concerns" and warned that male and female patients’ privacy was "compromised because people could be seen by other patients in their rooms at any time" and that patients were "not always involved in making decisions about their care".[3] There have also been significant breaches of patient confidentiality.[4]

The Trust runs the Hope Service for young people in Surrey with Surrey County Council, and Guildford and Waverley Clinical Commissioning Group. It works with about 50 young people at any one time who suffer from depression, suicidal feelings, ADHD, eating disorders, family difficulties and family breakdown.[5]

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 2254 full time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 3.59%. 61% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 565% recommended it as a place to work.[6]
