In the table below, click on the ‘+’ icon to open ‘MTW NHS Trust’ and then the relevant ‘+’ icon(s) to open the selected venue(s) (i.e. ED Maidstone Hospital or ED Tunbridge Wells Hospital).

To add or remove columns, click on the ‘Select Visit List Column’ icon on the toolbar.  A pop-up table will be displayed.  The left hand panel shows the available column headings and the right hand panel lists the displayed columns.
