We are working hard to transform our site to ensure our facilities are outstanding for both visitors and colleagues.

The first step will be the construction of our new energy centre which will make a significant contribution towards the hospital’s ambition to achieve net carbon zero status by 2040.

These works, which begin in May 2024, are taking place at the bottom of the hospital site and we will need to dig up parts of Car Park D to move essential utility pipes. As a result, we will move some visitor and staff parking spaces to other car parks.

Please join us at the Treatment Centre this Saturday for our Breast Care Unit Open Day between 2pm - 6pm.

University Hospitals of Northamptonshire (UHN) are pleased to announce that Laura Churchward has been appointed as the new UHN Chief Executive and will join the organisation in Autumn 2024.

A Memorial Service is being held by Kettering General Hospital for those who have lost loved ones after being cared for on the Intensive Care Unit.

 The service is being held on Sunday, May 19, at the Corn Market Hall in London Road, Kettering, from 2pm-4pm, and is to remember those patients who have died over the last two years.

 It is an opportunity for families to receive continued support from the unit, to remember loved ones, and to give thanks for the dedication of ICU staff for their 24/7 care – particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Staff at Kettering General Hospital have created a mobile phone App to help patients on the road to recovery following operations.

 Post Op has been created by doctors and nurses working together with patients and external technology experts.

 The App enables patients to answer key questions about their recovery through mobile phone questionnaires as well as posting pictures and video of their wounds for doctors and nurses to study.

Kettering General Hospital has just taken delivery of a £40,000 new state-of-the-art biopsy x-ray machine.

 The new device is used as a way of quickly checking if a breast biopsy sample has accurately targeted an anomaly being checked in the breast tissue. 

 Taking an accurate sample is important to be able to give the patient an accurate result. 

Aim is to raise breast awareness and answer any questions you may have

 Staff at Kettering General Hospital are promoting breast awareness and educating people on how to look after their breasts by having an open day.

 The Breast Care Unit Open Day is being held in the Treatment Centre at Kettering General Hospital from 2pm-6pm on Saturday, May 18. The first hour (2-3pm) is focussed for people under the age of 35.
