Kent and Medway Work and Health Strategy 2025-2030

Between January and March 2025 colleagues working within the Integrated Care Partnership carried out a public engagement exercise to support the development of the Kent and Medway Integrated Work and Health Strategy 2025–2030.


The online consultation provided respondents with the opportunity to have a say on each Aspiration in the strategy, with respondents stating how much they agreed whether each Aspiration should be included in the strategy. Developing from the online consultation, a series of interviews and focus groups were commissioned to provide further insight on the strengths and developmental points of the draft work and health strategy.


The online survey closed on Thursday 20 March, 2025.

  • 336 responses from across Kent and Medway to the online consultation.
  • 184 respondees to the online consultation said they would be happy to be contacted for focus groups
  • Insights from 42 participants with lived experience contributed to interviews and focus groups. 33 were engaged in individual discussions and 9 participants took part in focus groups.


The feedback was analysed, revealing strong overall support for the strategy’s aspirations. Each aspiration received a “Strongly Agree” response rate of over 69% when respondents were asked whether it should be included in the strategy.


We will continue to work on the action plan and will return with a full report later this year.


Thank you to everyone who took part!
