NHS Kent and Medway

NHS Kent and Medway commissions NHS services for Kent and Medway. 

For 2025/26, it has an annual budget of £4.7billion to provide the best possible care for the people in the region.

As a corner stone of an integrated care system, NHS Kent and Medway will:

  • allow a more coherent commissioning strategy for Kent and Medway as a whole
  • enable and oversee a consistent outcomes-based approach to commissioning across the system that targets population health improvement and maximises the potential for prevention
  • provide oversight and insight across a larger area, helping identify and share best practice, deliver consistency in commissioning approach and expected outcomes, as well as helping address inequity and inequality across Kent and Medway.
