Central Surrey Health was the first social enterprise to come out of the NHS, and is owned and run by the 700+ nurses and therapists it employs.
Central Surrey Health’s ethos is to combine the values and principles of the NHS with the 'can do' culture of a successfully run business. Since 2006 - through having the freedom to innovate and do things differently - Central Surrey Health has improved services and is using public money more efficiently. This success is now being recognised locally and nationally.
