Find out how New Mental Health Team is Reducing Waiting Times

Join South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (SEPT) at a public meeting to find out about Mental Health services in Essex.

This two hour meeting being held at the Village Hall, Hullbridge Road, South Woodham Ferrers, CM3 5PL on Thursday 23 October between 3pm – 5pm will give you the opportunity to learn about the patient pathway – including our new First Response and Recovery and Wellbeing teams; which since launch have seen access to a doctor to start treatment reduced from around 15 weeks to 10 days from the date of referral.

You’ll also have the opportunity to provide feedback on SEPT services and make suggestions for improvements.

There will be a surgery session at the end of the meeting giving you a chance to meet with staff and/or governors to discuss on a 1to1 basis any personal issues you may have.

Please encourage your friends, colleagues and family to come along to what promises to be an interesting and informative event.
