Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is a large acute hospital trust providing the full range of general hospital services, and some areas of specialist complex care, to a local population of approaching 800,000 living in the West Kent and East Sussex regions. We also provide specialist care to a much wider population. Both hospitals offer acute services via busy A&E departments with surgical services also based across two sites. These are supported by HDU and ITU facilities. Acute Orthopaedic admissions are cared for solely at the Pembury Hospital in Tunbridge Wells and supported by twin all day trauma lists. Elective Orthopaedics is split between sites. A ring-fenced single-theatre twelve-bedded Elective Orthopaedic unit is based on the Maidstone site.

This will be expanded in March 2024 by the addition of the state-of-the-art Kent & Medway Elective Orthopaedic Centre (KAMOC) with the addition of three new operating suites, day-case surgical facilities and a further 24 inpatient and short-stay beds. This new facility will allow us to greatly increase capacity for elective Orthopaedic services in the wider Kent & Medway area.
