Healthwatch Kent and Healthwatch Medway annual Recognition Awards evening return for the third year.

This annual awards evening aims to recognise and celebrate the people, innovations and collaborations that listen to the public and deliver successful projects and programmes across Kent and Medway.

The challenges facing health and social care in Kent and Medway continue to demand resourceful thinking and planning. Never has collaboration between services and across sectors been so vital. Health and social care in Kent and Medway support a diverse population, but we know that inequalities exist within this.  

This year, we were looking at the Recognition Awards through the lens of health inequalities. 

42 people and organisations were winners this year. 

Attendees, including the Leaders of both Medway and Kent County Council, applauded alongside senior representatives from every NHS organisation in Kent and Medway. Community and voluntary groups, as well as the individuals, who had undertaken done the work, joined in the celebrations at Ashford International Hotel.  

We work with every single health and social care organisation in Medway to ensure that they are hearing your stories and using your experiences to improve their services. This bird’s eye view means that we see what’s working well, and what needs improving. Our Healthwatch Recognition Awards have given us the opportunity to take a moment to recognise and celebrate some of the best in health and social care in Medway and Kent. Congratulations to everyone who has been recognised.
