Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital was a former NHS hospital in Tunbridge Wells, England, that specialised in homeopathic treatments.

History

The facility was founded by the merger of a group of four homeopathic dispensaries in Bristol into a single premises in Church Road, Tunbridge Wells in 1902. [1] A new wing was added in 1924 and further extensions were added in 1930. [1]

Following a drop in referrals and a review by the West Kent Primary Care Trust of funding for homeopathy, the hospital, then one of four homeopathic hospitals operated by the National Health Service, closed in 2009. [2] [3]
