NHS Kent and Medway Strategy
NHS organisations in Kent and Medway, that's NHS Kent and Medway and all NHS provider trusts, have produced the Kent and Medway NHS Strategy 2024/25 to 2029/30.
NHS Kent and Medway Strategy
Healthcare focus
This strategy recognises the challenges NHS organisations in Kent and Medway can best address together and, unlike Kent and Medway Integrated Care Strategy, focuses only on healthcare services.
It does not replace any of the NHS organisations' organisational strategies, nor does it seek to replicate the work of provider collaboratives or health and care partnerships.
Seven shared NHS values
The Kent and Medway NHS Strategy is built on our shared NHS values of:
- working together for patients
- patients come first in everything that we do
- respect and dignity
- commitment to quality of care
- compassion
- improving lives
- everyone counts.
Four strategic themes
Our Kent and Medway NHS Strategy has four strategic themes that guide where we put our collective effort:
- patient experience, access and outcomes
- people
- sustainable services
- finance and resources.
Three key enablers
Our key enablers supporting the delivery of the Kent and Medway NHS Strategy and its objectives are:
- system development, culture and improvement
- strategy, delivery and architecture
- communications and engagement.
In summary
All NHS organisations know we can achieve more collectively, rather than individually, to meet the health needs of our population and the Kent and Medway NHS Strategy outlines our ambition and vision for NHS services of the future.
