Amazon Wish Lists

We have worked closely with specialist nursing staff to develop our Amazon wish lists- carefully selecting items which benefit our patients during their time in hospital.

Our Children’s wish list has lots of exciting ‘distraction toys’ which can be used by children visiting our Emergency Departments, Outpatients services or while they are on the Children’s Wards.

Our Patient list provides appropriate activities for our adult patients, and those living with dementia- a number of whom have limited visitors, and who may find their stay disorientating and lonely.

Our Neonatal wish list has a number of items for babies and for the parents and families who might be spending extended periods of time visiting their newborns on the intensive and special care baby units.

Simply pick which item you would like to donate, then choose East Kent Hospitals Charity in the delivery section at the checkout.
