Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was an NHS foundation trust that operated Southend University Hospital. It merged with two other trusts to form Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust on 1 April 2020.[2]

History[edit | edit source]

The trust was established as the Southend Health Care Services NHS Trust on 17 December 1990 and became operational on 1 April 1991.[3] It changed its name to the Southend Hospital NHS Trust on 19 December 1997 and became a foundation trust in 2006.[4][5]

In August 2014, the trust established a joint pathology venture with Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Integrated Pathology Partnerships. A new laboratory was planned to be built at Dobson House in Basildon.[6]

The Chief Executive Officer of the hospital from April 2015[7] until January 2017 was Sue Hardy. Hardy resigned in January 2017 to "pursue other opportunities as the trust moves into a new era".[8]
