We continue our support of the NHS and Kent County Council in hearing from the public to codesign the future of their Integrated Community Equipment Services (ICES)
This may include the provision of equipment such as:
- Profiling beds
- Pressure care
- Walking aids
It also includes the purchase, delivery, repair/servicing and installation, collection and recycling of equipment for adults and children.
KCC and the NHS are recommissioning the service in April 2024 and have been carrying out a consultation but wanted additional support to ensure as many experiences as possible were included in the redesign.

After our visits in the Folkestone Nepalese Centre we got an understanding of what awareness there was about this service and what some of the barriers my be to accessing it by Nepalese communities. This time we want to hear from white British and the Nigerian communities to be able to understand how aware different communities are of this service, if people know how to access it, and the benefits it offers.
