  • Overall the population in the area served Kettering General Hospital (North Northamptonshire) is expected to grow by 50 per cent from circa 300,000 to 450,000 by 2031
  • All health Trusts in Northamptonshire will be working together to meet this callenge alongside their local authority and other public partners
  • The county has a body called the Northamptonshire Partnership - made up of the major health bodies county, district and borough councils and other relevant public and voluntary bodies - which aims to make the best use of money to deliver the best overall services for local people

Improving Healthcare Together (IHT)

In 2008 KGH launched its “Improving Healthcare Together” program where hospital staff and management work together to ensure that KGH provides the best standard of care and service that it can. 

 

To do this we aim to:

  • redesign services;
  • improve the hospital environment;
  • develop relationships and customer/patient centered services;
  • meet local needs;
  • continually make improvements.

We will take into account patient comments, surveys and complaints.
