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.
We have been asking you to help us understand how you would like to access diagnostic tests, which include CT scans, x-rays, MRI scans and blood tests.
We'd be grateful if you would share your thoughts because your opinions will help us shape the service at the new Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) we are opening in mid and south Essex.
Centres are in progress for Thurrock, Braintree, Pitsea and we are currently (June 2024) looking for an independent provider to run a smaller CDC in Southend.
Your views matter to us as we develop the plans for these centres.
Please complete the survey here.
Draft public consultation feedback reports of feedback gained during the recent NHS consultation led by NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board have now been published.
The feedback gathered from participants has been independently analysed from information gathered during public events, on the Virtual Views engagement platform, from surveys, focus groups and other submissions.
People who gave feedback are invited to review the report to make sure it accurately reflects the feedback they provided during the consultation. Feedback should be provided to NHSConsultation@WeAreStand.co.uk in writing to: Stand, Enterprise House, Barnard Castle DL12 8XT, by 31 July 2024.
An online feedback session has been organised to take place on 18t July at 6.30pm, where people can hear directly from the independent analysts who drafted the report.

The public consultation hearings sessions were special events where groups or individuals presented directly to NHS leaders on the issues they thought were important and should be included in the consultation.
People who took part in these events are being contacted directly and invited to check that the public consultation hearing report accurately reflects their presentation at the hearings.
The published reports providing the feedback from the public consultation will be presented to the Mid and South Essex ICB Board at their Board meeting on 11 July 2024. No decisions about the proposals in the public consultation will be made at this meeting.
The feedback received will be used to inform the decision-making process, which will be presented at an extraordinary Mid and South Essex ICB Board meeting. This meeting is scheduled to take place as a meeting in public on 30 September 2024. Further information about this meeting will be available on the NHS Mid and South Essex website in due course. At this meeting, all feedback and evidence will be given careful consideration as part of the decision-making process.
