Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is committed to providing patients with sufficient, clear, evidence-based information on which to make decisions about treatment, and about where they should have their care. Our core patient information leaflets can be found below in electronic format that can be downloaded. We are committed to making patient information accessible in a range of languages and formats. If you need a leaflet in another language or format please ask one of your clinical care team or the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) and we will do our best to arrange this. PALS can be contacted via telephone on: 01892 632953 or 01622 224960. If there is no-one available to answer your call, please leave a message on our voicemail facility and we will contact you as soon as possible. Alternatively you can email us on mtw-tr.palsoffice@nhs.net.
