Her visit provided a valuable opportunity to discuss our commitment to supporting the NHS as part of the government’s new partnership agreement and she was keen to hear about the research conducted as part of Benenden Health’s Gender Health Gap campaign.
“We were pleased to share our long 118-year history of care with her and to talk to her about our amazing, dedicated staff and their commitment to delivering high quality care for our patients. We hope to welcome her back very soon.”
