Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS foundation trust which provides community health, mental health and learning disability services to approximately 1.3 million people throughout Bedfordshire, Essex, Suffolk and Luton.

History[]

The trust was established on 1 April 2017 following the merger of South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust and North Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust.[3]

It was fined £1.5 million after a prosecution by the Health and Safety Executive in 2021 in relation to 11 deaths between 2004 and 2015 at North Essex Partnership University Trust which failed to manage ligature risks.[4] Later in 2021 it was rated "inadequate" by the Care Quality Commission and stopped from admitting new patients without consent from CQC after inspectors found "serious concerns" in the children and adolescent mental health services.[5]
