Case study: Urgent Community Response

The Urgent Community Response Service provides an urgent response in the community to Surrey Downs residents, 18 years of age and over, seven days a week from 8am to 8pm. It is based within three areas across Surrey Downs: Epsom, East Elmbridge and Dorking.

This service is delivered by a local, multidisciplinary team and aims to give patients the most appropriate support in their home, or usual place of residence, to prevent unnecessary hospital admission.
