A newly registered children’s nurse at Kettering General Hospital is part of a team that has received a national award for supporting student and newly qualified paediatric nurses.

Patients and staff at Kettering and Northampton general hospitals are set to benefit from a major research funding announcement.

The University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group – which runs KGH and NGH – is now a formal partner in the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research (NIHR) Leicester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC).

On October 14 it was announced that the NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre will receive £26m to spend on research over the next five-year funding cycle (2022-2027).

Kettering General Hospital has achieved a nationally recognised – and difficult to achieve - quality standard for the way it collects information about joint replacement surgery.

It has been awarded – for the second year running - the National Joint Registry (NJR) Quality Data Provider Award certificate for the scrupulous way in which it gathers and submits information to support a national safety system for joint replacements.

The NJR is a national body which collects data from all NHS and private providers in the country who fit hip, knee, ankle, elbow or shoulder joint replacement joints.
