Maidstone Hospital is a modern 410 bed hospital and provides general hospital services to a catchment population of around 220,000. The Accident & Emergency Department has approximately 50,000 attendances per year. The hospital has a full range of diagnostic services, including multi-slice CT and MRI scanners. The Kent Cancer Centre is based at the Maidstone Hospital, with a second centre in Canterbury, also managed by the Trust. Acute medicine and elective in-patient surgery is provided on this site. This includes specialist upper GI, colorectal and gynae-oncology and urology. A state-of the-art laparoscopic theatre was completed in 2010 and enabled the development of the Postgraduate Centre into a world-class laparoscopic training centre.
The Tunbridge Wells Hospital is located in Pembury. It is the first NHS hospital where all main wards are comprised entirely of single en suite bedrooms. These enable patients to have greater privacy, get a better night's sleep and reduce the chances of infection. Most rooms have plenty of natural daylight and views over the surrounding forest which further aid a good recovery.
