Synuron announces Central Surrey Health as first Non-NHS Member

Central Surrey Health, a co-owned social enterprise based in Ewell that provides therapy and community nursing on behalf of the NHS to residents of central Surrey, has signed up for Synuron membership, making them its 1st non-NHS organisation and 9th member in total.
Synuron, also a social enterprise, offers membership to organisations working in the health, social care and charity sectors and gives them access to membership benefits including innovative technology, knowledge and a support network to help them save money by streamlining and improving their HR and recruitment processes.

Mary O’Shea, Executive Lead for HR at Central Surrey Health, said, "We're very positive about joining Synuron and have great expectations of the system. We are looking forward to taking advantage of some of the membership benefits available such e-Recruitment and e-Disclosure systems. We also hope to use the benchmarking and knowledge sharing available from other members. This membership is part of our aim to revolutionise healthcare in our community by applying new ideas to old problems and working smarter as a result."

She added, “Since 2006, we’ve had the freedom to use public funding in a more innovative way and have subsequently improved the services we offer. Joining Synuron is another step in this direction and fits with our approach of continuously improving the way we do things. .”

Marilyn Gardner at Synuron commented, “Central Surrey Health is our 1st non-NHS member, which is a significant landmark for us. We’ll be looking at how we can apply our methods, technologies and best practise approaches to streamline their HR and recruitment process to save money and make them more efficient in patient care.”

She added, “This is an example of how Synuron, as a social enterprise, is addressing some of the most complex challenges facing organisations and using innovative solutions that give a return to the wider community.
