The NHS across Kent and Medway has risen to the challenge of responding to the initial impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. Clinicians and thousands of support staff have worked tirelessly to care for the most seriously ill whilst maintaining other essential urgent services.
Together with our partners we are now planning to restart health services which we have had to pause. The virus is still with us and we need to stay alert to keep further spread as low as possible.
We have launched an online survey for patients and families so that we can find out about what you think of changes that we had to put in place such as moving many appointments to telephone, video or online consultations. We also want to find out why some people stayed away from NHS services and about your views on appointments being delayed. This will inform what we do next, and how we reassure the public about the safety of NHS services whilst Coronavirus is still around.
Please complete the survey now
It is open until Monday 15th June. Please share it with family and friends so we can get as many views as possible.
NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group
It is vital that we learn from patients, local communities, carers and, of course, staff. We will be carrying out further engagement over the summer to help us understand how the pandemic has affected local people and if some of the urgent changes we made have actually been positive changes that we should keep?
