The Performance Report

Annual overview

Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust is a mental health Trust that provides mental health, learning disability, substance misuse and specialist services to approximately 1.8 million people across Kent and Medway.

Working in partnership with Kent County Council and the unitary authority in Medway, we are commissioned by eight regional Clinical Commissioning Groups and NHS Specialist Commissioning. We have an annual revenue of £202 million and employ approximately 3,400 staff who work across 66 buildings on 33 sites. We are proud to be a leading mental health Trust in the employment of peer support workers (those with lived experience).

We cover a vast rural and urban rich area with increasingly diverse communities which are spread across an area of 1,450 square miles.

Ensuring the services we provide are always accessible to those who need them is vital as we continue to see an increase in referrals. Improvements being made across our community and crisis teams is vital in providing care to people in their own homes and preventing people from reaching crisis.

Having staff located in many different areas across the county means it is imperative that we have good staff engagement and in particular a just and learning culture across the Trust. This is reflected in the work that began last year to create and embed a culture blueprint. Improvements can already been seen, particularly through our staff survey results which this year showed our highest engagement to date. There is still work to be done but we are committed to working with our staff to make positive change.
