Staff at Medway Maritime Hospital came together on Thursday 5 July to commemorate the 70^th anniversary of the NHS.

Lesley Dwyer, Chief Executive of Medway NHS Foundation Trust, is to leave the organisation to return home to Australia where she will take up a new appointment.

Keeping our patients active can make a real difference to their experience of care and their long term health, which is why we are supporting the national campaign to #ENDPJPARALYSIS.

Packed full of patient stories and news from the Trust, you can find out more about our award-winning Team Maia midwives, our Patient Research Ambassadors, the great work done by the Medway Hospital Charity, and our plans for celebrating the NHS’s 70^th birthday

A unique initiative to improve care for patients undergoing surgery in Medway by involving them more closely in preparing for their procedure has been praised by local MP Rehman Chisthi.

The Trust gives notice that it will hold elections to the Council of Governors of Medway NHS Foundation Trust.

The NHS is turning 70 on 5 July 2018 and here at Medway we will be marking the occasion with a number of activities involving our staff and local community. The centrepiece of our celebrations will be a summer fair on Saturday 7 July, during the anniversary week.

In April 1948, inspired by her grandmother, an untrained midwife and her father, a battlefield stretcher-bearer during the First World War, Enid Osborne took her first steps to become part of the NHS legacy by enrolling to become a student nurse.

In 70 days the NHS turns 70 and to mark the milestone occasion The Medway Hospital Charity is asking the people of Medway and Swale to raise a cuppa to celebrate our wonderful health service.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first charity quiz night.
