CUH also offers a maternity unit, wards and operating theatres and we provide the full range of in-patient and out-patient clinical services as well as working closely with nearby specialist units to support patients with more complex conditions. Purley War Memorial Hospital, in the south of the borough, offers a number of outpatient services including clinics, x-rays and blood tests. Our community servicesOur community health services care for patients of all ages, out of hospital and close to home. From the very young to the very old our nursing, therapy and specialist children’s services reach every corner of the borough and every local resident. With increasing integration across our services, the line between ‘acute’ and ‘community’ is becoming increasingly blurred. We want to give patients a seamless experience, care for them when and where it’s comfortable for them and work closely with social care colleagues to ensure that health and care needs are equally addressed. Our 3,500 staff work every day of the year to provide services for a population of over 380,000 people You can see a full list of our services at: www.croydonhealthservices.nhs.uk/our-services/
