Medway NHS Foundation Trust

Medway NHS Foundation Trust This is the official page of Medway NHS Foundation Trust (Not 24/7). Includes news, updates and information from Medway Maritime Hospital.

Medway Maritime Hospital treats around 400,000 patients each year mainly in Medway and Swale, but increasingly other parts of North and West Kent too. Everyday we see around 1,400 outpatients, about 250 patients use our emergency department and approximately 150 patients need to be admitted for hospital care and treatment. The range of specialist services we offer have grown over recent years, as

have the communities we serve, bringing to Medway services which in the past, patients have had to travel miles for. This includes the cardiac catheter suite, West Kent Vascular Centre, West Kent Centre for Urology, and the Macmillan Cancer Care Unit.

We’d like to thank our incredible supporters for helping us get off to a ‘wheely’ great start with our 30th anniversary wheelchair appeal.

Fifteen wheelchairs have already been pledged because of your generosity, meaning we’re already halfway towards meeting our target of £30,000.

Last month, we welcomed some of our donors to meet their wheelchairs, including Apex Contractors, CSIS, Sunlight Rotary Club, and Queenborough Town Council.

Wheelchairs, which cost £1,000 each, help patients get to appointments safely and comfortably.

To donate to our wheelchair appeal, please visit: https://orlo.uk/BYHoG
