To ensure patients have the fastest access to the treatment they need, anyone with a non-life threatening condition who would usually go to A&E should call 111 first, day or night, to be directed to the right NHS service. NHS 111 can help if you have an urgent medical problem and you’re not sure what to do. Simply dial 111.
The Emergency Department (ED) is located at Darent Valley Hospital and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, but it should only be used for those patients needing urgent medical attention and treatment.
