About Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is a large acute hospital trust. We provide a full range of general hospital services to around 500,000 people living in the south of west Kent and parts of north east Sussex.

Many of the people we serve live in the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells area. In addition, the Trust provides specialist cancer services, through its flagship cancer centre at Maidstone and unit at Kent & Canterbury Hospital, for the whole of Kent, Hastings and Rother, about 1.8 million people.

MTW is at the forefront of developments in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery in the NHS and is increasing the range of other highly specialised services available locally to patients, including centres of expertise in trauma (emergency surgery), maternity, paediatrics (children's inpatient care) orthopaedics and planned complex surgery.

Our Staff

We employ a team of approximately 4,750 whole time equivalent staff.

Our Hospitals

The Trust primarily currently works from two clinical sites: Maidstone Hospital, and the new Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury.

We also provide cancer services at Kent & Canterbury Hospital in Canterbury.
