There have been a number of concerns and enquiries raised with us about attending appointments with one of our consultants at Southend Hospital. Please be assured we always take the safety and safeguarding of our patients seriously. If you have any concerns about your appointment for gynaecology or obstetrics, please telephone 0300 44 32006 or email mse.gandoenquiries@nhs.net for support and information.
Many of our services offer video calls to patients as a way of having an appointment without having to travel to hospital. If you’ve been offered a video appointment, you and your healthcare professional will be able to see and hear each other using a secure online video service.
To find out more, visit Video appointments.
If you have a message, card, or letter for someone who is currently staying in one of our hospitals - Basildon, Braintree, Broomfield, Southend, Orsett or St Peter's - please complete the form on our patient experience page.
