In light of the current global Covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to postpone our Walk4Wards event on Sunday 29 March 2020.

Clinicians support most care being provided locally at Epsom and St Helier hospitals and confirm that the new specialist emergency care hospital in Sutton is the best option for patients.

We recently welcomed MP for Epsom and Ewell Chris Grayling to the Centre for Simulation and Human Factors at Epsom Hospital to officially unveil a family of brand new training manikins. The manikins include ‘mum’ Lucina, who can be used to accurately simulate the birthing process and two very realistic babies (one pre-term and one full-term). The manikins will be used to simulate a variety of clinical scenarios that allow staff to work together and to manage a number of complex patient scenarios that may be encountered in the workplace.

Some of the youngest and oldest patients cared for at Epsom Hospital are set to benefit from a generous donation of £5,000 from the Tattenham Community Association, following a cheque presentation from the Mayor of Reigate and Banstead on Saturday (15 February).

Patients, staff and local residents are invited to help Epsom and St Helier put their best foot forward this year, by joining a fundraising walk between the two hospitals on Sunday 29 March.

A young girl who received care for leukemia in the dedicated children’s ward at Epsom Hospital is helping current and future cancer patients to keep entertained during a hospital stay, thanks to a generous donation of toys and activity packs.
