Today we are proud to launch our new Group Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals (AHP) Strategy. Launched by Leanne Hackshall, Director of Nursing and Quality at KGH and Sheran Oke, Director of Nursing, Midwifery and Patient Services at NGH; the new strategy explains how this will signal the start of the future for these three professional groups. During the development of our strategy, it became apparent that our Nurses, Midwives and AHP’s had a clear vision to inspire a culture of providing only the best quality of care. From this, the acronym VoICE was born, (Vision of Inspiring Care Excellence).

Kettering General Hospital opened a new outdoor gym for staff on September 8, thanks to funds raised by Captain Sir Tom Moore and NHS Charities Together. 

So far the Trust has received a total of £269,600 from NHS Charities Together supporting a variety of initiatives throughout the pandemic

In addition to the 12-station outdoor gym – located in the hospital’s Pocket Park - these have included our “We Care” staff welfare programme which includes a free staff café, Open Office and Out of Office service 

Kettering General Hospital aims to double its volunteer workforce and develop a wide range of exciting new posts for people of all ages over the next few months.

To mark the start of the new recruitment campaign some of our existing 140 active volunteers are pictured wearing a bright new red polo neck uniform with KGH Volunteers written on it.

Our ambition - working closely with Northampton General Hospital – is to create one of the largest volunteer forces in the NHS that is representative of our local community.
