Organisational Values
We are committed to a culture that supports all staff at NHS Kent and Medway to be the best version of themselves.
- Our ability to improve outcomes for our population depends on how effectively clinical, operational, financial, and strategic professionals work together to make informed commissioning decisions.

- We believe regular on-site working supports stronger collaboration, faster problem-solving, peer learning, visible leadership, and the integration of colleagues into our organisation. We also know that culture is built through shared experiences and day-to-day interactions.
- We are a flexible working friendly organisation; we aim to support you to work flexibly in a way that will suit you and us.
- We work with staff to agree objectives through regular supervision, annual appraisal, and access to training opportunities.
