East Surrey Hospital is the major acute hospital for east Surrey and north-east West Sussex, providing a wide-range of services to the local community.

The hospital has a full 24 hour/seven day Emergency Department. 

Currently, the hospital has 26 wards (ward visiting hours) and a number of outpatient clinics. There is an onsite walk-in centre for minor injuries.

East Surrey Hospital has consistently invested in innovative healthcare solutions. The past year has seen a £750,000 MRI scanner, unique in the UK and the opening of a £3 million new endoscopy unit.

History
The first phase of East Surrey Hospital opened in 1979. Originally known as the New East Surrey Hospital, it initially replaced the previous (smaller) East Surrey Hospital and Smallfield Hospital.

The second phase of building opened in 1991, allowing the final closure of the nearby Redhill General Hospital as the remaining services moved onto the new East Surrey site.

'Old' East Surrey is now the Whitepost Hill medical centre and Smallfield - a Canadian military evacuation hospital in the second world war - is a housing estate. East Surrey Hospital is on Canada Avenue, which owes its name to the use of the site as a camp for Canadian troops during the Second World War.
