We are an Alliance of local partners including the NHS, local Councils, health and care providers and the community and voluntary sector. We support a population of just over 220,000 people across the Boroughs of Guildford and Waverley.

Aims and challenges

Our strategic goals for the next five years are to:

  • Improve health and wellbeing
  • Support our communities
  • Integrate health and care services
  • Put the local health economy on a sustainable financial path.

We have several challenges as a local population, including social isolation and loneliness, falls prevention, end-of-life care and addressing the broader determinants of health. We are also focused on improving the patient experience and ensuring people get the right care in the right place at the right time.
