England’s Chief Inspector of Hospitals has found that the services provided by Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust have improved following the latest inspection by the Care Quality Commission.

Two years ago, CQC rated the trust as Requires Improvement after inspectors identified significant variation in the quality of its services.

As a result of the latest inspection in January 2017, the trust has been rated as Good overall, and Outstanding for being caring. Safety is rated Requires Improvement.
