  • In 2024 we received almost 5000 referrals
  • 99.5% of people were offered an initial appointment within 21 days

Where we work

Our referral hub is in Guildford, but we are a Surrey-wide service and have clinics across the county.

So I want to welcome you to i-access.

We are a substance misuse service delivered by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Trust.

We're really fortunate in Surrey that we have been delivering substance misuse services for over 30 years, which means we are really well-established team.

We're a multidisciplinary team. We have lots of specialisms within our team, and we deliver as a one-team approach. So we have multiple bases, we have one in Chertsey, Guildford and Redhill, but we operate as one team with over 24 satellite clinics across Surrey.
