Medway NHS Foundation Trust has expanded its COVID-19 screening programme for staff to include workers from other health and social care organisations in Medway and Swale to help as many key workers as possible to get tested.

We are sad to announce that our Executive Director of Nursing Karen Rule has died after being seriously unwell for some months. 

Our society currently faces threats and challenges the like of which we have not seen in peacetime. This will require a community response that sees us act as one. The NHS is working in a unified way across Kent and Medway to ensure that as the pandemic unfolds we are able to provide care to patients by using the skills and commitment of our staff to the maximum.

The NHS and Public Health England (PHE) are well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.
