Over 40 years now. 👍

Been with Benenden Health and its predecessor for over 40 years. Always been very helpful and almost all my medical worries have been corrected by them.
There are some things they can't do as the cost is too much for them, but overall fantastic value for money.

Amazing hospital

My appointments have always been on time. All staff are kind, helpful and professional. The hospital is amazing - very calm atmosphere, spotlessly clean and clearly sign-posted.
Also easy to park and no charge.

Benenden Charitable Trust

I've been a member of Benenden for over 25 years, following significant health problems I contacted the Charitable Trust (an adjunct to their health services). I asked for assistance in the purchase of 2 items; a roman chair (for core strength) and a static exercise bike. I completed the downloadable application alongside pictures and prices of the items (hard copy only). Within a few days I received an email informing me my application was being reviewed. I was then phoned by Michelle (who handled my case from start to finish) letting me know my application for assistance had been approved. For those that meet the criteria the Trust is an extremely helpful part of Benenden Services. The staff (particularly Michelle) are super helpful and efficient, my application took just over a week from start to finish. I can't recommend them enough - DJS.
