Local NHS Public Board Of Directors Meeting (7)

South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (SEPT) is holding a public meeting of the Board of Directors at 10:30 on 27 April 2016 at The Lodge, Runwell Chase, Essex, SS11 7XX.

The agenda includes a presentation by Elspeth Clayton on Learning Disabilities Transforming Care. The Transforming Care agenda focuses directly on the role to be played by local commissioners of learning disability services across health and social care and the development of their future commissioning strategies in relation to the delivery of local services. The main focus is around community provision and the importance of people with learning disabilities living in the community and the development of more robust service to support this.

The presentation will be followed by an award ceremony to congratulate a number of SEPT employees nominated for an award as part of the staff recognition scheme.

SEPT is one of the largest and most successful NHS providers in the country of integrated care including mental health, learning disability, social care and community services. As an NHS Foundation Trust, SEPT 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.
