Who We Are
Sirona’s services span all ages from a few days post birth to end of life. Our aim is to support people in their own homes wherever possible through our wide range of skilled and experienced colleagues including nursing, Allied Health Professionals, medical and highly trained support staff, both clinical and non-clinical. We have over 3,500 employees and an annual turnover of circa £225m.
We are a values-based organisation, and are fully embedded in the work of our Integrated Care System (ICS) having a seat on the Board. Most of our income comes either from the NHS or from the three Unitary Authorities of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
About a third of our income relates to community services for children and young people including community paediatrics; specialist therapy services; public health nursing; specialist services for children with life limiting illnesses and autism and ADHD services. The remainder relates to community-based services for adults of working age, and for older adults including a range of community nursing and therapy teams; community-based specialist services; community outpatients; four in-patient rehabilitation units (including specialist stroke rehabilitation); two Minor Injury Units and an Urgent Treatment Centre.
Our care model is strengths based, seeing people of all ages in the context of their wider circles of support and their local communities and seeking to support them to reach their full potential and to remain in control of their health and their healthcare.
Founded in 2011, we are a community Interest Company (CIC). In 2020 we took on what was, at the time, the largest adults service contract by value awarded in the country. This 10-year contract more than doubled the size of our organisation. Since then, we have renewed our children’s services contracts with the three local authorities we serve. Those children’s contracts and our adult services contract are due for renewal in the coming years. The incoming CEO will play a pivotal role in leading us to renew these contracts.
We are providing strong leadership across the organisation and to our six local place settings, working closely with our multiagency partners in each of these six localities. Managing the dual challenge of local autonomy and central coordination is one of the many areas in which we are exploring new thinking as we continue to shape our organisation and the health services we provide to our communities.
