Summary
Emergency Medicine in East Kent Hospitals is at an exciting
period of redevelopment, having attracted national investment
to rebuild both Emergency Departments at William Harvey
Hospital, Ashford and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother
Hospital, Margate.
Our Emergency Departments provide innovative and fast
paced integrated emergency care to a wide range of patients
from East Kent. It is our inspiration to develop into an
academic and research unit in emergency medicine for Kent.
The Emergency Departments, one at the William Harvey
Hospital (WHH), Ashford and the other at the Queen Elizabeth
the Queen Mother Hospital (QEQMH), Margate, each offer a
full 24 hour emergency service. The Emergency Departments
are supported by co-located Urgent Treatment Centres, a 24
hour UTC at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital with a further 7
community UTCs in the region
