The William Harvey Hospital in Ashford has the full range of district general hospital services, as well as regional specialities, including the country’s best performing trauma unit; along with being a specialist centre for head & neck, thyroid, colorectal, breast and lung cancers. The Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, also provides district general hospital services alongside specialist services for colorectal, breast, lung and gynaecological cancers. The Kent & Canterbury Hospital in Canterbury, is a specialist services hub which provides adult medical care, vascular services and leading robotic surgery, as well as cancer services for inpatient renal, urological, haematological and dermatological cancers.

Our new hospital in Dover, the Buckland, and Royal Victoria Hospital, Folkestone, provide a variety of outpatient, diagnostic and minor injury services, alongside a range of services throughout the local area and is working on a non-specific symptom service for suspected cancer patients as well as launching Targeted Lung Cancer Health checks.

We support clinicians who see opportunities to make tertiary care available locally for our population, and we have a strong research ethic as a high recruiter to research studies.
