Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is a large acute hospital Trust in the county of Kent.

The Trust provides a full range of general hospital services and some areas of specialist complex care to around 500,000 people living in the south part of West Kent and the north part of East Sussex.

The Trust’s core catchment areas are Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells and their surrounding boroughs. We work from two main clinical sites: Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury. Tunbridge Wells Hospital opened in 2011 and provides single rooms with en-suites for all in-patients – the first of its kind in the country.

The Trust operates award-winning Emergency Departments at both hospitals. It is the fifth largest cancer centre in the country, providing specialist cancer services to around 1.8 million people across Kent, Medway and East Sussex. The Trust treats people from two sites based at Maidstone Hospital and Kent and Canterbury Hospital, and also runs outpatient clinics across multiple locations in the county.

The Ophthalmology department at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is the largest specialised eye unit in the South-East of England, serving a total population of 1 million and ensuring that there is treatment available for all eye conditions locally.

We employ over 7000 full and part-time staff in a huge range of clinical and non-clinical roles across both of our hospital sites.
