Upon learning of the departure of Lesley Dwyer, chief executive of Medway NHS Foundation Trust which runs Medway Maritime Hospital, Alan Jarrett said:
“I would like to sincerely thank Lesley for her tireless hard work and commitment to the Medway Maritime Hospital throughout her time as chief executive of the Medway NHS Foundation Trust. Under Lesley’s leadership, I am pleased to say we have enjoyed many successes – not least the turnaround that saw the Hospital exit from special measures, and the continued improvements since. We can be particularly proud of the strong partnership the NHS FT and the Council have built, which has most obviously seen numerous improvements in delivery for adult social care. I’d like to wish Lesley all the best for the future, and her new role upon her return to Australia.”
