Quality Accounts are prepared for a 12-month period. Therefore as The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust demised on 01 July 2019, it is not required to prepare a Quality Account. As part of the acquisition of The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust by Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust, a programme of due diligence was carried out which included quality governance. This was independently reviewed to give assurance to the successor organisation on the quality of The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust’s services.

As well as continuing our focus on providing high standards of care, we have been preparing to merge with Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust in a move which will see us form the largest NHS trust in East Anglia. This merger provides us with a real opportunity to further improve the range and quality of services available to patients, offer the best treatments locally and attract even more of the brightest staff to the region. It will also enable us to really focus on our philosophy of Time Matters so that we can remove or improve the things we do which cause unnecessary stress or frustration for our patients, families and carers and our staff. We are confident that this exciting merger will bring real benefits for thousands of people every year. During the first quarter of 2018/19, we continued to work closely with our health and care partners to join up services for the benefit of local people. We also made improvements to the Heath Road site, including our new helipad which will make it quicker and easier for staff to transfer critically ill patients into our Emergency Department. Throughout the rest of the year, we will continue to make changes to improve the environment in which our patients receive care so that we can ensure they have the best possible experience when coming to Ipswich Hospital and our community services. Our two major charity appeals – the Blossom Appeal, which is raising money towards a £2.5m breast care centre, and the Children’s Appeal, which aims to completely reconfigure our children’s facilities – have continued to attract fantastic support from local people. We are truly grateful to everyone who so generously gives their time to help raise funds for our hospital, and whose dedication continues to make a real difference to our patients. Finally, I would like to pass on my thanks to our staff and volunteers who have worked so hard to care for and support our patients this year. I look forward to continuing to work closely with you all during the rest of the year as we embark on the next exciting chapter in our Trust’s history. David White Chairman 5 The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust Annual Report and Accounts – quarter one 2018/19 Chief Executive’s overview The first quarter of this year has provided a time for reflection as we prepare not only for The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust’s merger with Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust, but also to celebrate the 70th birthday of the NHS on 5 July. I have always been incredibly proud to work in the health service, and proud of the dedicated and compassionate care which our staff provide to the 3,500 people who rely on our services every single day. However, it is clear that the NHS continues to face challenges caused by increases in demand, finance and workforce issues. We need to find ways to do things differently to make our NHS sustainable, and one of those is by working more closely together. The creation of East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust on 1 July offers us a fantastic opportunity to do just that, while also driving through real improvements on behalf of our patients. This integration is being mirrored in our ongoing Sustainability Transformation Partnership work, which has brought together health and social care, statutory and third sector providers across Suffolk and north east Essex. I look forward to continuing to work closely with these partners over the remainder of the year to help us all deliver our shared ambition to improve the services we provide and the health of local people.
