Health and Care Partnership specific reports (divided into the related geographical areas of North, South, East and West Kent) are being presented to the relevant groups across August.

The findings will help shape how the Enhanced Health in Care Homes (EHCH) model continues to be delivered across Kent and Medway and contribute to a wider care home strategy.

The purpose of our visits was to understand how Enhanced Health is benefiting the care that residents receive and where there are areas that could be improved.

Full report will be available later in September
