North Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS Foundation Trust which provides mental health services in Essex, England. It has offices at Ipswich Road and Severalls House Complex in Colchester; the Chelmsford & Essex Centre, the Crystal Centre, Edward House, the Christopher Unit and Linden Centre Mental Health Wards in Chelmsford; the St Aubyn Centre, Holmer Court, the King's Wood Centre and The Lakes in Colchester; Kitwood and Roding Mental Health Wards in Epping; Shannon House, the Derwent Centre and the Brian Roycroft, Chelmer, Stort and Cam Mental Health Wards in Harlow; the Landermere Centre and the Peter Bruff Mental Health Ward in Clacton; Cherry Trees Therapy Centre at St Peter's Hospital, Maldon. It provides dental services at Saffron Walden Community Hospital.
The Trust has delivered the Family Nurse Partnership in south east Essex since 2007 and in 2014 it was agreed to extend the service to the whole of Essex.[1]
After an inspection in January 2014 by the Care Quality Commission of the Basildon Mental Health Unit, Nethermayne, the Trust has been rapped for under-staffing and poor record keeping. High risk patients at the Basildon mental hospital were at risk of 'unsafe or inappropriate' care, inspectors ruled. The ward 'relied heavily on bank and agency staff'.[2]
The Trust is investing £9.7m in the extension and refurbishment contract at the Derwent Centre in Harlow.[3]
It runs the Veteran’s First service which supports homeless ex-service personnel.[4]
