About
Established in April 2006, Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust is an integrated health and social care Trust specialising in the provision of mental health services throughout Kent. The Trust serves a population of approximately 1.8 million people across a mix of urban and rural areas and socio-economic groups.
We aim to provide effective, efficient and high quality care to all clients and the services provided include assessment of need, support, individual or group programmes of care, education and the promotion of mental health issues.
