From 1 August 2018, your local NHS is introducing a wider range of times when most people living in Braintree Town, Chelmsford and parts of the Colne Valley can get appointments at a GP practice.

For the third year running, Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is on the lookout for community stars as it seeks nominations for its Marvels of Mid Awards (MOMAs).

The NHS in mid Essex is urging people to look after themselves, act responsibility and use NHS services sensibly, during the heatwave this week: please think twice before heading to A&E or calling 999 when it’s not an emergency.

The five clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in mid and south Essex have today given the go ahead for plans to secure the future of health and care services.
