We are Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust.
We provide a wide range of adult mental health and learning disability services to our local population of 1.8 million people in Kent and Medway, as well as specialist services for adults in Sussex and Surrey.
Each year we care for over 2,000 people in our hospitals and 54,000 people in the community.
We are proud to employ over 3,600 people from 66 nationalities, and to serve an increasingly diverse range of communities across rural and urban areas.
We are part of the Kent and Medway Integrated Care System, a partnership of organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services to improve the lives of people across Kent and Medway.
In February 2022 we retained our good overall rating from the care Quality Commission and were rates as outstanding for effective and caring.
Over recent years, we have seen nationally and locally a rising demand for support and services, as well as changes to what our population and our people need.
Mental illness is the second-largest source of burden of disease in England for people with serious mental illness, 2 in 3 deaths are caused by physical illnesses that can be prevented.
To continue to meet these challenges and achieve our vision, we are proud to announce our new three-year 2023 to 2026 strategy.
