To ensure the safety of all patients, all NHS organisations will in future be using the NHS number as the prime means of checking the identity of each person they treat. We would therefore ask you to bring your number with you when coming to Southend University Hospital for treatment. Your NHS number is a 10-digit number in a 3 3 4 format (eg, 123 456 7890) and is unique to you.
You should find it on your medical card and we would ask you to make a note of it. Some older cards may have your old NHS number. If it is not 10 digits long, please contact your GP or your local PCT to find out your new one.Your number will also be included on documents and correspondence used by NHS organisations.If you are coming into Southend University Hospital to give birth, your baby will be allocated a NHS number and this will be used by your GP to register your baby.
If you come in as an emergency or needing urgent care, rest assured we will find your NHS number to support your treatment. |

In these days of Patient Choice, it is more important than ever before to listen carefully to the views of our patients and their representatives so that we can make sure we are able to respond to their needs. This is why we consider it equally vital to work closely with healthcare and other partner organisations such as GPs, Primary Care Trusts, local authorities, etc.
As a firmly-established Foundation Trust (since June 2006) we are actively introducing new ways of involving our governors and members (over 12,000) more closely in the present and future plans of the hospital.
