Media enquiries

If you are a member of the media and would like a comment, interview or response to a story, please get in touch with our Communications Team.  As well as responding to queries and questions about our hospitals, we can help you find experts who can talk to the media about a wide variety of clinical issues.

Journalists must contact the Communications Team first - do not approach our staff directly. We are in the best position to find the information you need quickly or provide an authoritative source for your story. We can also help with location filming and photographs.

Please be reminded that (in accordance with the Editor's Code of Practice), journalists must identify themselves and obtain permission from a responsible executive before entering non-public areas of hospitals or similar institutions to pursue enquiries. The restrictions on intruding into privacy are particularly relevant to enquiries about individuals in hospitals or similar institutions.

The Communications Team are on hand 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can call the team on 01372 735432 , or out of hours phone 07975 232380. You can also email us at esth.media@nhs.net or give us a shout @epsom_sthelier.
