Event Description

Working across West Kent to transform health and care

Imagine a world where health and care work seamlessly together, where people can lead longer, healthier and happier lives, where health and wellbeing services have been transformed and there is equality in accessing what you need. The NHS, councils and voluntary and community sector enterprises are working together in a partnership to drive changes to health and care.

Residents of west Kent are invited to a listening event on Tuesday, 18 July in Maidstone to feed into the plans for West Kent Health and Care Partnership and on the proposals for a Kent and Medway plan for health and care – the Integrated Care Strategy. In particular, we want to ask you about how we can help you get the right care and support at the right time, and how we can help people manage their own health and wellbeing, especially as they get older. Further information on the event is below:

Kent and Medway Integrated Care Partnership is a group made up of the NHS, councils and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations – last year partners developed an interim strategy for Kent and Medway. Now, it needs to hear the views and ideas of people across Kent and Medway on the issues being prioritised.

The partnership would like to hear your thoughts on:

• giving children the best start
• helping the most vulnerable and disadvantaged to improve their physical and mental health
• helping people manage their own health and wellbeing, especially as they get older
• supporting people with multiple health conditions close to home
• making sure most hospital services are available from your local hospital (where most appropriate)
• making Kent a great place to live, work and learn.

Further details on the strategy and other ways you can have your say can be found here.
