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.

It's not every day the Town Crier visits a hospital!

We were pleased to welcome Mike Billingham, Medway’s Town Crier, in full regalia and in his role as Public Governor, to help mark the official opening of our Sheppey Community Diagnostic Centre. He was joined by patient Paul O’Connor, who cut the ribbon and was one of the first people to use the service when it opened in December 2024, alongside Kevin McKenna MP, our Interim Chief Executive Jonathan Wade, many of our clinical and support staff colleagues, and guests from Swale Borough Council and Healthwatch.

The centre is already making a real difference, bringing vital diagnostic scans closer to home for local people.
