Our region & partners

We live and work in a vibrant and diverse geographic area, serving 4.7 million people across Kent, Surrey and Sussex.

Our region is home to world-leading research institutions, a bustling life sciences hub and a strong talented NHS workforce. Like many regions, our area faces financial, operational and clinical pressures. The shape of our population is changing, with more people than ever before needing access to the right health and care at the right time.

Our population is growing and ageing, and there are people living across a mix of coastal communities, isolated rural areas and urban centres. These people all have different experiences of health and care and this generates health inequity.

Enhancing productivity and value for money
Helping the NHS support broader social and economic development
Making the NHS the best place to work
