Working for our organisation
Sutton Health and Care is an innovative partnership of providers working across Sutton (GP Federation; Local Authority; Mental Health Trust and Acute Trust) to provide integrated services for the local community. As partners we have the exciting opportunity to put the shared vision for how health and care can be delivered into reality through the implementation of a service model for the provision of community services (adult and children) that truly integrates health and care, physical and mental health and primary and acute care.
We are committed to working with each other and commissioners to co-create a model which when implemented will transform the experience of the people who use services in Sutton and fit the vision of the Sutton Health and Care Plan and the national NHS Long Term Plan.
We firmly believe that the partnership will drive transformational change to the benefit of patients and the local health and care system, getting the system to deliver better person-centred outcomes and financial sustainability.
