Shaping diabetes services in Suffolk and North East Essex
More than 4.7 million people have diabetes in the UK (3.3 million in England) and the number of diagnoses has doubled in the past 20 years. If not managed well, diabetes can lead to a variety of complications.
Currently, community diabetes pathways vary across the three Alliances in Suffolk and North East Essex. To provide a good and equal service across the whole of our region we need to consider many things and to help us with this we are seeking valuable input from patients and family carers with lived experience of diabetes (type 1 and type 2).

More information about our Alliances can be found below:
The Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care System covers the whole of Suffolk and North East Essex and our Collective Ambition is ‘Working Together as ONE team with the shared vision of the best possible health outcomes being a reality for every ONE of the ONE million people living in Suffolk and North East Essex, but sometimes our engagement work is targeted towards our three geographical Alliance areas.
Our three Alliances are:
- North East Essex
- Ipswich and East Suffolk
- West Suffolk
Each area involves multiple partnerships, including NHS, local government, voluntary sector and other local organisations or groups. They work together to provide integrated care to improve the health and wellbeing of the local population.
Each Alliance is responsible for the coordination, planning and delivery of primary medical care, community services, integrated services and personalised care. They also understand and work with communities, join up and coordinate services around people people’s needs, and address social and economic factors that influence health and wellbeing, quality and sustainability of local services. Each Alliance is also split into smaller localities through integrated locality and neighbourhood teams.
The localities are:
North East Essex: Colchester, Tendring
Ipswich and East Suffolk: Central Suffolk, Eye & North West, Felixstowe, Ipswich, Saxmundham & North East, South Rural, Woodbridge
West Suffolk: Bury, Haverhill, Mildenhall & Brandon, Newmarket, Sudbury
