The Link is the new website to keep you up to date with all the latest clinical news and updates from Colchester and Ipswich Hospitals and with Ipswich and East Suffolk community services. The Link has been developed to provide colleagues working in primary care and beyond with the most recent communications and information about ESNEFT services, whether that’s the response to COVID-19, work to get back to normal in recovery and restart or anything else you need to know.

In Suffolk there are an estimated 34-38,000 veterans.  Most served many years ago and many won’t be aware of services that may support their existing or future health, wellbeing and welfare needs.  Whilst the majority of ex-service personnel live fulfilling lives post service, recent evidence shows that veterans and/or their family members or close friends are among those at higher risk of suicide. We are keen to identify veterans and promote additional services through community networks and social prescribing.

Working with Public Health Suffolk we have developed a short survey to audit current systems in GP surgeries for identifying and supporting veterans. you are invited to complete the survey at the about link, which will only take a few minutes. Thank you
