About us
HSH is a private healthcare organisation delivering NHS commissioned primary care services to secure environments.
Our patients face a range of challenges and barriers in accessing and receiving equitable healthcare services. They often have complex medical needs and co-morbidities putting them into high risk categories, and can often come from backgrounds where they are vulnerable, marginalised and have had little healthcare input. They are also likely to experience greater health inequalities, such as longer wait times, poor access, delays in treatment etc. We strive to provide a service with the same quality, respect, dignity and compassion that patients should expect to receive in any healthcare setting.
We invest in, motivate and develop our staff, encouraging and enabling them to invest in and take care of our patients in return. A competent, well-led and motivated team is paramount to achieving our core values
