Our Trust is always looking for patient feedback on services we provide and when we are looking at designing a new service. We hold engagement events for specific services and also offer a chance for people to tell us their thoughts via online surveys.
Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System (ICS) are collecting the experiences from people who have been discharged from hospital in the mid and south Essex area.
They will use your feedback to improve the way patients are discharged, the services you could receive in the community and the way you are supported to ensure you have the right care to meet your needs when you get home.
Anyone who has been discharged from hospital since 1 August 2024 can share their views. The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete, but it may take a little longer if you choose to write long responses.
You can now read the draft public consultation feedback report:
In September, the NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (MSEICB) announced a six-month delay in the final decision-making regarding the reconfiguration of community hospital beds, a midwife-led birthing unit and ambulatory care services.
The decision follows an extensive public consultation, where valuable feedback was gathered from patients, staff, and the wider community.
This additional time is allowing the NHS in mid and south Essex to develop comprehensive solutions that address the needs of local communities to enable staff to deliver the best possible care and make the best use of taxpayers’ money.
Full details of the three-month progress report can be found in the ICB board papers section of the MSEICB website, here https://www.midandsouthessex.ics.nhs.uk/publications/?publications_category=icb-board-papers&publications_type=all&date_from=.
