Paediatric outpatients reopens on KGH site

Paediatric outpatients

Posted on at by David Tomney

Kettering General Hospital has opened a £185,000 new Paediatric Outpatients Clinic on its main Kettering site suitable for face-to-face consultations with children and their parents.

Over the last year face-to-face paediatric outpatients’ services have been delivered from the hospital’s outlying sites at Nene Park, Irthlingborough, and Nuffield Diagnostic Centre, Corby, rather than the main KGH site.

This was because the former Kettering paediatric outpatients area, in the Foundation Wing, was transformed into a paediatric A&E department in response to the  Covid-19 pandemic

Now the hospital has created a new paediatric outpatients clinic close to A&E on the main hospital site. (Note - The paediatric A&E department remains in the Foundation Wing.)
