In the second of our interviews to mark International Women's Day, we chat to Jackie Brown who is Assistant Director of Adult Social Care in Medway.

Today is International Women's Day. To celebrate we're talking to the inspirational Ginny Bowbrick. Ginny is a Mum of four and has worked in the NHS for 32 years, working at Medway hospital for 16 of those.

Many people have been asking us what they should do if they have a long term condition and they want the Covid vaccine. We have some answers.

Just like us, many of you have been juggling work and home school for the past nine weeks. Home-schooling in the winter has been much harder than the initial lockdown.

This week, we're talking with a number of people who have had Covid. They've been telling us how Covid is still affecting them more than three months later.

If you’ve been offered the vaccine, you now have the option to have it at the hospital on Friday, Saturday and Sundays.

The Care Quality Commission published a report following a recent unannounced visit to the emergency department at Medway Maritime Hospital. Although they found many positives, they’ve asked the hospital to make a number of immediate changes.

Acting on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the four UK chief medical officers announced in December, that the second doses of covid vaccines should now be given at 12 weeks rather than initial 3-4 weeks.

We want to make sure you hear about everything important that is happening around Medway – as its happening - that could affect your health and wellbeing.

All adults with learning disabilities in Medway are now being offered the vaccine.

We hear from working parents about how lockdown is affecting them.

If you are over 70 years old and have not yet had your Coronavirus vaccine, you are being asked to contact the NHS to get booked in.
