Delivery details
Delivering to Kent and Canterbury Hospital: what to know
Which department is it for?
Tell us when you book. East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust runs many specialist services from here: renal, vascular, interventional radiology, urology, dermatology, neurology and haemophilia. The renal service trains home haemodialysis patients on site, and the Kent Oncology Centre provides radiotherapy here as well as at Maidstone. Typical urgent runs are machine spares from a manufacturer’s engineer, loan kit and instrument sets for vascular and urology lists, and clinical documents.
Can you bring specimens too?
Yes, if you have packaged them as UN3373 in triple packaging. Much of east Kent’s laboratory work is centralised at William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, so confirm the receiving lab first. Declare any Category A substance, dry ice or other dangerous goods when you enquire. We do not carry blood or blood products.
How long will it take?
From Maidstone the driver takes the M20 to junction 7, the A249 to the M2, then the M2 and A2, around 28 to 30 miles. Ethelbert Road is on the south side of the city, so the A2 approach avoids the centre; from Ashford it is the A28. We quote with a collection time and match the vehicle to the job, up to a 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift. Cover up to £100 is standard; if the item is worth more, give us the value and, where extra cover can be arranged, we confirm the level and any cost before you accept.

The Same Day Couriers Kent difference
Less handling on the way
For most same-day jobs, your consignment travels directly with the assigned driver. It is not normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved between vehicles.
The vehicle you actually need
We match the vehicle to your job, from a motorcycle for documents to a 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift for pallets, so you're not paying for spare capacity.
You know where it is
The driver keeps you updated while the job is running, and proof of delivery gives you the recipient's name and the time of handover.
Cover agreed before you book
Every consignment includes cover up to £100. Worth more? Tell us the value and, where extra insurance can be arranged, we confirm the cover and cost before you accept.
