The Trust provides general hospital services to a population of approximately 600,000 in West Kent and North East Sussex, and some specialist services to a considerably larger population. Its major hospitals are the Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury and Maidstone Hospital. The Trust's Headquarters are at Maidstone Hospital.
Maidstone Hospital is a 410 bed hospital situated at the western edge of Maidstone, two miles from junction 5 of the M20. 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. Elective Orthopaedic surgery via the ring-fenced Maidstone Orthopaedic Unit is carried out every day. Elective and Fracture clinics take place each day in our outpatient department.
The Tunbridge Wells Hospital is located in Pembury adjacent to the A21. The hospital opened in 2011. It is the first NHS hospital where all main wards are comprised entirely of single bedrooms. The Department reconfigured with the opening of the new Tunbridge Wells Hospital in September 2011 centralising all inpatient Trauma on the new site. This reconfiguration has allowed the development of a class leading trauma service in which the vast majority of trauma surgery is now performed by Consultant Surgeons or under their direct supervision. There are 4 Orthopaedic theatres at Tunbridge Wells, all laminar flow. 2 for elective surgery, and 2 for trauma.
