East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust formed on 1 July 2018 is one of the largest NHS organisations in the region, employing over 10,000 staff and serving a population of almost 800,000 residents.

By merging Colchester and Ipswich hospitals, we can provide the latest treatments locally, and be in a stronger position to save, grow and strengthen the many hospital and community services our residents rely on


We are an ambitious trust with a simple vision, to provide the communities we serve with excellent healthcare and build a better future for the people of East Suffolk and North Essex.

To help us do this, we will work closely with our local partners to deliver more of the joined-up services and care our residents need.


The Dermatology Department spans across both hospital sites, in Ipswich we have a dedicated area of the hospital, with 8 clinic rooms, 2 minor operating theatres and consultant office space.

There is an additional separate area for patch testing, phototherapy and PDT. The unit has its own dedicated administrative, medical and nursing staff.

Following the allocation of £69m Capital Funds to ESNEFT, there are plans to relocate the unit to a more central and modern area of the hospital site as part of the Trust's Estates Strategy.

In Colchester following the successful bid to deliver the service we are running services from the newly redesigned Primary Care Centre.


Our Dermatology team is part of the MSK and Specialist Surgery Division and is proud of its aspirant and encouraging atmosphere.

The team has particularly excellent results in skin cancer outcomes, working alongside an acclaimed Oncology department.
