East London NHS Foundation Trust (formerly known as East London and The City University Mental Health NHS Trust) was formed in April 2000. It provides mental health and community health services in East London, England, and specialist services to a much wider area.
In May 2013 the Trust took over the Health E1 clinic in Brick Lane which had been run by nursing staff with GPs and other specialist nurses for those who couldn’t register with a practice because they had no settled address.[1]
In October 2013 Lerone Michael Boye – who murdered a teenager in 2011 – absconded from the Trust's John Howard Centre. Dean Ablakwa, 29, a member of staff at the Centre, was charged with conspiracy to assist an offender escape from lawful custody. [2]
The Trust introduced changes to its Datix system for incident reporting in 2014 to make it more useful. It now gives feedback to the original reporter about actions taken to address their concerns, and there are dashboards in Datix to allow services to view trends in incidents over time, and integrate incident data with other quality data, which staff can access from any computer.[3]
The Trust is due to take over running mental health services in Bedfordshire on 1 April 2015 with a seven year contract from the clinical commissioning groups in Luton and Bedfordshire..[4]
