Wonderful News!

From our League of Friends Chairman, Jo Naismith

After much campaigning by the League of Friends we have reached agreement with the Hospital Trust to extend both the opening hours and scope of our Minor Injuries Unit.

With effect from the 30th April 2012 Minor Injuries will be open from 8.30 am to 8pm seven days a week. Additionally, at weekends and bank holidays the hospital will also treat minor ailments such as coughs, colds, ear nose and throat infections and urinary tract infections.

This is initially for a six month period, but we have been assured that as long as the facility is well used the extended hours will apply indefinitely.

Edenbridge War Memorial Hospital has been at the heart of our community for over eighty years, and is located in a park-like setting to the south of the town. As well as a Minor Injuries Unit we have regular outpatient clinics across a wide range of specialties, a modern Physiotherapy Department as well as 19 in-patient beds, many in single en-suite rooms.
