KIMS Hospital is the largest independent private hospital in Kent. It is situated in Maidstone and treats privately insured, self-funding and NHS patients. Primary specialties are orthopaedic surgery, cardiology, gynecology, breast surgery and general surgery. The hospital is situated on the Kent Medical Campus, off Junction 7 of the M20 Motorway. LycaHealth, which owns medical centres in Orpington and Canary Wharf, became its majority shareholder in October 2021.

History

The hospital, which was designed by David Morley Architects and built by Vinci Construction, opened in 2014. The hospital acquired Sevenoaks Medical Centre in January 2020 to offer private and NHS consultations, and diagnostic services. LycaHealth acquired a majority stake in KIMS Hospital in October 2021.

Facilities

KIMS Hospital is home to a Interventional Cardiology facility in Kent. It was the first hospital in Kent to offer Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery for joint replacement surgery which allows for greater precision and improved recovery time for patients.

Awards

In 2023, the Hospital’s Theatre Department was awarded the Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP) accreditation for high standards of patient safety across their five theatres.
