Working together for better lives

We are a partnership between the organisations that meet health and care needs across mid and south Essex

Help build a health service fit for the future

The Department for Health and Social Care, together with NHS England has launched the biggest ever public conversation about the future of the NHS. It's your NHS and we want to hear from you so we can build a health service that's truly fit for the future. We can't do this without you.

Be Prepared for Winter

Winter comes with a higher risk of health issues, particularly for older people or those with long-term conditions and compromised immune systems. Our winter information hub provides information about how you and your family can stay well during the winter months.

Painkillers Don’t Exist

The term ‘painkiller’ is misleading – it implies that medicine will kill the pain completely. Although they can play a part in managing persistent pain they do not work for everyone, and even if you get some benefit, after 3 months they’re probably not working and addiction becomes a serious issue.

Get involved

Everyone in mid and south Essex has a part to play in improving our health and wellbeing. Your involvement is invaluable to us and there are lots of ways to participate, get involved and have your say.
