If you have flu, there are some things you can do to help get better more quickly.

Flu will often get better on its own, but it can make some people seriously ill. It's important to get the flu vaccine if you're eligible.

Did you know Medway Maritime Hospital was originally a Royal Naval Hospital, opened by King Edward VII in 1905?

The hospital clock tower, which is a local landmark, cost £100 and was built from funds left over from the plastering budget for the main hospital building. Until 1950, Royal Marines police guarded the entrance to the hospital and visitors and tradesmen had to show a pass to gain access.

Our iconic clock tower has been lit up many times during 2025 most recently green and red to mark the festive period.

Our Call 4 Concern (C4C) service, which we launched in January 2023 for adult inpatients, has been rolled out across our neonatal unit and children’s wards..

It enables inpatients staying with us, and their friends and family, to call a dedicated number, 24/7, for immediate help and advice, directly from a member of our Acute Response Team, if they still have ongoing concerns about their own, or their loved ones changing condition despite raising their concerns with the nurse in charge or doctor.

A member of the team will then visit the patient on the ward to discuss any concerns with them or their family or friends, and assess the situation before liaising with the patient’s medical team, and other healthcare professionals, to discuss further treatment options, if needed. A note of the C4C intervention will then be logged in the patient’s notes summarising the concern raised and any actions taken.

If you need it, the Call 4 Concern phone number is 07799 348608.
