Working together to improve services

Surrey Provider Collaborative

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust works with a range of NHS Provider Collaboratives to improve care, share expertise and make the best use of NHS resources. By working together, NHS organisations can develop services that are more consistent, sustainable and centred around people's needs.

The provider collaborative consists of four NHS Trusts:

  • Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
  • Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust
  • Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
  • Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
  • Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust

Together, we work on shared priorities including mental and physical healthcare, digital transformation, workforce, elective care and improving clinical pathways across Surrey.

Update on Surrey Heartlands Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services and Adult Eating Disorder Services - January 2026

Two new NHS Provider Collaboratives are being established to manage commissioning arrangements for specialist mental health services for young people from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Medway, and for adults with eating disorders from Kent and Medway, Surrey and Sussex.

This follows the transfer of responsibility for the Surrey Heartlands CAMHS Tier 4 and Adult Eating Disorder Provider Collaboratives from Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust to Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

These changes will result in the creation of the new Southern Counties CAMHS Provider Collaborative and the new Kent, Surrey and Sussex Adult Eating Disorders Provider Collaborative, effective from Monday 2 February 2026.  

The new Provider Collaboratives, which will be led by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, will manage commissioning arrangements for specialist mental health services for children and young people from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Medway and adults with eating disorders from Kent, Surrey and Sussex.

Children and their families, and people affected by eating disorders, should continue to use their services as normal.

NHS-led Provider Collaboratives involve providers of specialist health and care services in the same geographical area working together to continuously improve patient experience. Organisations come together to provide specific, targeted care and services for specialised mental health, learning disability and autism services.  

This new way of working more closely together enables the NHS and independent health providers to share learning, clinical expertise and innovation to continuously improve services for patients, carers and families. 

As the lead provider for two Provider Collaboratives in the Surrey and Sussex ICB (formerly Surrey Heartlands ICS), Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is responsible for planning and commissioning specialist services that can meet the needs of our local communities.
