Core training is available at both Maidstone Hospital and the Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury. Both sites provide excellent general & specialty experience enabling the Trainee to achieve core competencies, complete the MRCP and develop a specialty interest including exposure to Acute & Emergency Medicine with full support.
