Kevin McKenna is a British Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sittingbourne and Sheppey since 2024. He gained the seat from the Conservative Party.[1]

Early life and career

McKenna was born in Erith and grew up in Welling, in the London Borough of Bexley. He was educated at St Stephen's Catholic Primary School in Welling and Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School.

McKenna studied microbiology at the University of Warwick and later qualified as a registered nurse in the 1990s at the Nightingale Institute at King's College London, a career change he made after exposure to the work of nurses caring for his friends impacted by the AIDS epidemic.[2] He worked in the NHS as a frontline nurse in critical care in a number of London hospitals including University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and later in strategy on nationwide NHS programmes at NHS England.[2] In 2015, McKenna was a Darzi Fellow in clinical leadership.[3]

During the Covid-19 pandemic, McKenna worked as a matron at NHS Nightingale Hospital London.[4]

McKenna decided to go into politics as a result of his post at NHS England, which he said made him want to create policy rather than administer it, and because of a lack of representation for nurses in Westminster.[5] He was unsuccessful as the Labour candidate for the Bexley and Bromley at the 2024 London Assembly election.[6] He was selected as the Labour candidate for Sittingbourne and Sheppey on 23 May 2024.[7]

McKenna was one of seven MPs from a healthcare background to sign a letter calling on Parliament to back assisted dying legislation, saying it would benefit patients.[8]

Personal life

McKenna lives in Sittingbourne with his husband.[9]
