The NHS is holding eight public events to discuss potential options for changing hospital and local care services in east Kent.
At these events, between 30 October and 20 November, doctors and other NHS leaders will discuss with local people:
Caroline Selkirk, Managing Director of the four NHS clinical commissioning groups in east Kent*, said: “This is the next step in conversations we’ve been having with staff, patients and the public over recent years about why change is needed to health and care services in east Kent and how services could be improved.
“We have done a great deal to respond to what people in east Kent have told us they need, such as access to more appointments with GPs and nurses, including in the evening and at weekends; joining up care for people with the most complex conditions; and starting to hold more outpatient clinics in local communities.
“We have also been looking in depth at two potential options to improve hospital services in east Kent.
“These informal meetings with local communities, ahead of any formal public consultation next year, are a chance for local people and organisations representing patients to hear more about our work so far, and to help us understand the potential impact of the options we are currently looking at. We want to continue to gather a range of insights on the latest phase of our work. What people tell us will be considered by the joint committee of east Kent clinical commissioning groups, before it decides whether both potential options for changes to hospital services go forward to public consultation.”
If you cannot make it to the events, there will be more information about the proposals added to www.kentandmedway.nhs.uk/eastkent shortly and an online survey will be open from mid-October.
You can register for one of the events online at www.kentandmedway.nhs.uk/eastkent. Alternatively, you can email info.eastkent@nhs.net or call 01622 211940 to reserve a place.

From 1 October, extra evening, weekend and bank holiday appointments are available in east Kent to help patients get the care they need, when they need it.
This is part of a national drive to improve access to GP practice services and give people the opportunity to have an appointment at a time that suits them.
The extra appointments, which may be provided by a GP, nurse, physiotherapist, paramedic practitioner or other health professional, are for routine, non-urgent care. The extra slots are available between 6.30pm and 8pm each weekday. There are also appointments on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.
They will not necessarily be at patients’ usual GP practice, but the health professionals treating them will be able to see their full medical records, with their consent. Patients who need an appointment will be allocated the most suitable clinician for their need.
Dr Navin Kumta, chair of NHS Ashford Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), said: “We know that people sometimes have to wait to see a nurse or doctor and we believe the new longer hours will be of particular help to commuters, parents with young families, and other people who find it difficult to get to their practice during normal working hours.
“Anyone wanting to make an appointment should contact their GP practice in the first instance. Trained reception staff will know where and when appointments are available, and with which healthcare professional, and will be able to book the patient in. Patients should advise the receptionist if they particularly want an evening or weekend appointment.
“These extra appointments will be available for pre-booked care. It’s important to remember that anyone who needs medical assistance when their practice is closed should continue to dial NHS 111.”
To make sure that the new appointments system works well for patients, the CCG would like to encourage people to tell us about their experiences of them. Anyone with comments or queries can email the patient experience team:nelcsu.engagement@nhs.net

Ashford Borough Council collects metal cans and packaging in your green recycling bin.
| Yes please | No thanks | |
|---|---|---|
| Aerosols | Metalised plastic film | |
| Drinks cans | Paint cans | |
| Aluminium and steel food tins | ||
| Sweet and biscuit tins | ||
| Metal lids from glass jars | ||
| Aluminium foil | ||
| Foil trays |
Other metal items are accepted at the Household Waste Recycling Centre at Cobbs Wood
An easy way to tell if an item is made from foil or metalised plastic film is to do the scrunch test. Scrunch the item in your hand – if it remains scrunched, it means the item is made from foil which can be recycled. If it springs open, it is likely to be metalised plastic film which cannot be recycled.
