Visiting

At East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust we want to take as much care of our visitors as we do of our patients.

If you are visiting a friend or relative at one of our hospitals for the first time:

make sure you know the formal name of the person you are visiting
find out which ward they are on from their nearest relative, or ask the hospital's main reception
find out what times the ward is open to visitors see our list of wards and their visiting hours

East Kent Hospitals is a smoke-free Trust. This means that for the good of the health of our patients, visitors and staff, smoking is not allowed in the hospital grounds or buildings.
