When you visit as a patient, we want your visit to be as stress-free as possible. Read on to find out what to expect at our award-winning hospital. You can find out more in our guide for patients.

Does the hospital have free parking?

I want to find out more about Benenden Hospital’s Consultants

Our patients are at the heart of everything we do so, when you come to our hospital, you’ll be treated by specialist, well-respected Consultants who are supported by experienced, compassionate nursing teams.

I’ve had my treatment at Benenden Hospital and need some follow-up support

If you have any worries once you’re home, please don’t hesitate to call us on the number on your discharge letter for help and advice.

I’m a member but haven't visited the hospital before and want to know more about it

The hospital was opened in 1907 by the National Association for the Establishment and Maintenance of Sanatoria, to treat postal workers suffering from tuberculosis (TB). The Association had been founded by a consortium of trade unions and friendly societies, and the Benenden Healthcare Society became a member.

Once the consortium disbanded, the Benenden Healthcare Society took over the sanitorium, expanding treatment to include chest complaints and cancer diagnosis. Soon came an operating theatre, surgical wards and an x-ray department.

Now an independent hospital with charitable status, we provide the best care from our location in the heart of the Kent countryside. Find out more about our hospital.

Can I get treatment through my membership immediately?

After six months

If you're experiencing a wait on the NHS, you can request a range of medical diagnostics.

After six or 24 months

If you're experiencing a wait on the NHS, you can request medical treatment after six months in England, Scotland or Wales or after 24 months in Northern Ireland (timescales may differ for existing members in Northern Ireland).

For more information on how to request these services, please visit the Benenden Health website.

What will my initial appointment at the hospital involve?
