When it comes to your healthcare here at Medway, equality and inclusion is about how our staff learn and develop a fuller understanding of the range of life experiences that our patients and their families have. 

At Medway we want to provide the most support that we can for those with dementia, as well as those who care for them.

Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is holding a series of engagement events designed to help shape the future of local health and care in Medway.

Our Housekeeping Team plays a crucial role in ensuring that the hospital remains clean – helping to prevent infections and ensuring patients remain safe. They also support the delivery of clinical care – providing important extra touches that make a real difference to our patients.

On Thursday 31 August, staff from the paediatric department will be hosting their annual family fun day at The Star Meadow Sports Club, Gillingham.

We have passed the first two stages of the rigorous assessment to become accredited by Unicef (United Nation’s Children’s Fund) as a Baby Friendly organisation and are well on our way to getting full accreditation early next year.

We know we still have more to do to ensure the people of Medway and Swale get the care that they want and deserve and to make sure that we keep up the momentum of improvement at the Trust; that’s why we have launched our Better, Best, Brilliant improvement programme.
