About East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust

• The Trust is one of the largest in England, managing five main hospitals:

  • William Harvey Hospital, Ashford

  • Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital, Margate

  • Kent and Canterbury Hospital, Canterbury

  • Buckland Hospital, Dover

  • Royal Victoria Hospital, Folkestone

• Patient-Specific Contact: For questions about appointments, test results, or a specific patient, you must contact the relevant hospital department or ward directly. The main switchboard can connect you, but using direct lines is faster.

• Official Website: The best source for the most accurate and up-to-date information, including specific department contacts and patient services, is their official website: https://www.ekhuft.nhs.uk/

• PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service): If you have a concern or query about NHS services, the PALS team is the recommended first point of contact. They can be reached via the main website.
