Trust news

An alliance created between Croydon Council staff, Age UK Croydon and the local NHS so over-65s need less time in hospital has been renewed for another nine years. 

The One Croydon alliance focuses on giving residents with chronic conditions more joined-up support to improve their independence and quality of life. So far 62% fewer patients have needed care packages six weeks after hospital discharge and around 450 residents spent less time in hospital, or none at all.

Croydon Health Services is bringing together their Contraception and Sexual Health service (CASH) and Sexual Health clinic (GUM) at Croydon University Hospital, to make an even better one-stop-shop for our local community. 

After winning the British Journal of Midwifery’s ‘Midwife Of The Year Award’ on 7 February, our midwife Memuna Sowe has appeared everywhere. Paulina Sporek has also been in the limelight after winning the ‘Midwife Achievement Award’ on 13 February at the London Maternity and Midwifery Festival.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has today (21 February) rated three of out of four core services at Croydon Health Services NHS Trust as ‘Good’ following a routine inspection.
