Local NHS Public Board of Directors Meeting (1)
Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) is holding a public meeting of the Board of Directors at 10:30 on 26 April 2017 at The Lodge, Lodge Approach, Wickford, Essex, SS11 7XX.
The agenda includes a presentation on the Whipps Cross Urgent Care Centre, delivered by Dr Mohameed Amin, Paediatric Lead (GP) at Whipps Cross Hospital and Margaret Dias, Whipps Cross Urgent Care Centre.
EPUT was formed on 1 April 2017 following the merger of North Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (NEP) and South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (SEPT) providing community health, mental health and learning disability services for a population of approximately 2.5 million people throughout Bedfordshire, Essex, Suffolk and Luton.
As an NHS Foundation Trust, EPUT is run locally, not by Government, and must work closely with the local community to develop services in a way that best suits the needs of local people.
