Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust

Please remember: A&E is for serious and life-threatening emergencies only -  like people with severe chest pains, serious head injuries, loss of consciousness or breathing difficulties. If your condition is not an emergency, please help us by choosing a more suitable service:

• Your local pharmacy
• NHS 111 – online or by phone
• Urgent Treatment Centres – for non-life-threatening conditions

Get the care you need quicker with Pharmacy First – no GP appointment needed.

90 per cent of pharmacists in Kent and Medway can assess and prescribe for seven common conditions:

• Sore throat (age 5+)
• Sinusitis (age 12+)
• Earache (ages 1 to 7)
• Urinary tract infections - UTIs (for women age 18 to 64)
• Impetigo (age 1+)
• Infected insect bites (age 1+)
• Shingles (age 18+)

Pharmacists can also advise on coughs, colds, aches and pains.

Parking spaces at the hospital are extremely limited. To avoid congestion or waiting for a space, we recommend that you consider visiting the hospital via public transport where possible. Peak hours are from 9am - 3pm.

Parking is FREE for blue badge holders. There is a dedicated car park for Blue Badge holders although this gets very busy. Please avoid queueing for this car park and use one of the other car parks. You then just need to take your Blue Badge to the parking office who will validate your parking ticket.
