East Suffolk & North Essex Foundation NHS Trust

About Us

One of the largest Trust’s in East Anglia, East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT) provide hospital and community health services to people living across a wide geographical area. We deliver care from two main hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, six community hospitals and in patients’ own homes. You will be joining a team of almost 12,000 amazing colleagues providing care to approximately a million people.  We’re investing more than £150million over five years in a capital building programme to transform services at our hospitals and make sure patients and staff have the best possible environments.

At Ipswich Hospital

• We are also building a £9.1million specialist laparoscopic surgery hub, and a new £7million Children’s department
• Recently opened – a £5.3million state-of-the-art Breast Care Centre and a £5.3million pathology molecular lab

At Colchester Hospital

• We’re building a dedicated £64million elective orthopaedic centre for patients from Essex and Suffolk who need planned, orthopaedic surgery.
• We have upgraded our emergency and urgent care areas.
• We’ve opened a state-of-the-art £7million interventional radiology and cardiac angiography unit

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which do not work or cause time delays for our staff and patients.
