Surrey and North East Hants Community Services
Virgin Care provide some adult community services across parts of Surrey and North East Hampshire. We provide a wide range of services including community nursing and wheelchair services among others. We began providing these services in 2012.
A wide variety of NHS services sit within the term ‘community services’. In very simple terms it means all the services that aren’t delivered in a large hospital (secondary care) or classed as primary care (like GP practices and urgent care centres).
We provide similar services across the country, where we’ve invested significantly in bringing services together and improving the experience for the people who use our services.
What is a community service
A wide variety of NHS services sit within the term ‘community services’. In very simple terms it means all the services that aren’t delivered in a large hospital (secondary care) or classed as primary care (like GP practices and urgent care centres).
Our aim
The aim of our community services and teams is to work together with other organisations to provide you with the care you need close to, or in your home as a seamless experience, regardless of who in the NHS is actually looking after you.
Our staff have the skills and experience to make a real difference, so we empower them to challenge ‘the way things have always been done’. We’re also providing them with the latest tools, such as mobile working solutions, to give them more time with people using our services and make our service as safe as possible.
