Public Board of Directors Meeting (2)

Members of the public are invited to a meeting of the Board of Directors of Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) at 10:30am on 27 September 2017 at The Lodge, Lodge Approach, Wickford, Essex, SS11 7XX.

A presentation will be given to provide an update and review of the Bedfordshire Paediatric Service, which was undertaken in October 2016.  This will include our response to the review recommendations, focussing on key work undertaken and achievements so far alongside an update on work that continues within EPUT Bedfordshire and across the Bedfordshire system.

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.

If you are over the age of 12 you are eligible to become a member of the Trust. You can join by calling the membership office free on 0800 023 2059 or by logging on to www.eput.nhs.uk.
