History

The hospital has it origins in a cottage hospital which opened with just eight beds in 1873.[1] The current building opened as a workhouse infirmary in 1890.[2] It was staffed by volunteers until it joined the National Health Service in 1948.[1]

In 2011, it was revealed that the hospital was at risk of losing its accident and emergency services as part of a Better Services Better Value (BSBV) programme, which would rationalise hospital facilities across Surrey and south west London.[3] In 2013, local MP Chris Grayling said that constituents should show their support for retaining these services at the hospital.[4]

Epsom Hospital was in the news in August 2018 after a stray cat was found in a linen basket.[5]

In 2019 part of the Dorking Road site was sold for £18 million to Legal & General,[6] which set up a partnership with specialist older persons housing provider Guild Living to create an residential complex.[7]

Services

The hospital contains an accident and emergency and a range of diagnostic and supporting services including pathology, radiology (including CT, MRI and ultrasound), the South West Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC) which calls itself a "centre of excellence",[8] vascular diagnostic services and an acute psychiatric facility operated by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.[9]

Radio station

The hospital has its own radio service, "Epsom Hospital Radio", which is a registered charity and is staffed by volunteers.[10] Since 1979, its mascot has been Ruddles The Bear, which was named after a competition in the Epsom Guardian.[11]
