We are East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT). We provide hospital and community health care services for Colchester, Ipswich and local areas and we are the largest NHS organisation in the region. We provide services from Colchester and Ipswich hospitals, Aldeburgh, Clacton, Halstead, Harwich and Felixstowe community hospitals and Bluebird Lodge in Ipswich. Our teams also provide community services in Suffolk.

The University of Suffolk is an agile, responsive university, custom built for a changing world, absorbing the best of UK university traditions and aligning them with a twenty first century audience and a modern world of employment and entrepreneurship. Through establishing working relationships with charitable organisations, business and research bodies the University has a rich network to enhance its projects and is growing its reputation for world renowned academic expertise. The University of Suffolk is a key contributor to its local communities; developing subject areas closely aligned to regional economic priorities as well as contributing to the overall economic growth of the county. The main University campus is in Ipswich and courses are also provided at West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft College and Great Yarmouth College.

Eastern AHSN (Academic Health Science Network) is part of a national network established by the NHS to connect all partners in the health sector. Our purpose is to help turn great ideas into positive health impact. We believe that great health is improved by great ideas, but great ideas only make an impact when they are put into practice. Our health is too important to leave change to chance. Citizens, academia, health services and industry will achieve more working together than they will in isolation. Our job is to make that happen. The Eastern region is home to some of the greatest science and the most brilliant health and care practitioners in the world. We want our region to benefit from both, creating better outcomes and more prosperity. We are ambitious for patients and committed to applying evidence to make change happen.
