Carers
We promote an environment where carers are recognised and supported. We all encourage carers to speak to our staff about how we can best work with you in the care and treatment of your loved one.
Carer's Passport
Our carer's passport is for identified carers of patients under our care, as an in-patient or for day surgery. This document can be shown to staff to verify your role as carer.
A staff member can provide you with a carer's passport.
John's campaign
We have signed up to the national 'John's campaign' which advocates carers staying with their loved ones in hospital. For more information, please visit the John's campaign website.
Carers resources
Kent Carers Matters offers information and support for Carers in Kent. Health and care professionals can also find support for identifying and referring Carers.
Information and resources for carers on the Kent and Medway Safeguarding Adults Board website.
