About Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust

Our group of hospitals provide a huge range of clinical services and care for a population of over 1.2 million people in central and south Essex. Our three original hospital trusts merged in 2020 to become Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. This was the culmination of years of collaborative working which had already led to better clinical care for our patients, more career opportunities for our staff, and improved working with the wider health and care system in Mid and South Essex. We provide an extensive range of acute healthcare services from our three main hospital sites (Broomfield, Basildon and Southend), as well as a range of smaller sites. Specialist services are provided from our main hospital sites which attract patients from elsewhere in the UK and internationally. These are the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre based at Basildon Hospital, the Burns and Plastics Service at Broomfield Hospital and the Cancer Centre at Southend Hospital.
