WINNER Herculean Medical Bank Transformation During One Of The Biggest NHS Trust Mergers: Locum’s Nest and Mid and South Essex FT

Three hospitals merged in early 2020 to become Mid and South Essex NHS FT (MSE), one of the largest trusts in the country. MSE offers a county-wide plastics, head and neck, and upper gastrointestinal surgical centre to a population of 3.4 million and is home to the world-renowned supra-regional burns service at the St Andrew’s Centre, serving a population of 9.8 million. MSE’s challenge was to create a collaborative bank across three previously independent trusts. Locum’s Nest collaborated with MSE to provide tailored tech-supported solutions to improve service delivery and patient outcomes. The judges said the tech solution had clear evidence of improvements to service delivery and patient care, and the financial benefits were evident.
