We have been very fortunate in having a number of local businesses donate food and items to us during these testing times.

This has given us the opportunity to offer our amazing staff a free breakfast this morning. We saw over 700 staff stop by our staff area to have either a bacon roll, cereal, or toast. All with a hot cup of tea or Nespresso coffee.

The section of Kettering General Hospital’s A&E department that deals with children is moving to a different location within the hospital.

The move will enable the remaining A&E department to be adults only and give the hospital more capacity for its coronavirus response.

We are extremely grateful to our colleagues in the education sector providing childcare/education support to our staff as Key Workers #WeAreInThisTogether so we can support caring for patients.

We are making a number of changes to our Phlebotomy (blood taking) service as a result of the effects of Coronavirus. These changes will help to ensure we have sufficient staff to provide a safe service and in the case of the KGH changes  minimise the risk to patients of attending a busy hospital site and coming into contact with others who may have the virus.

Between 08:00 and 14:00 on Saturday 21^st March, we will be upgrading our Patient Administration System.  This will mean you will be unable to book, cancel or amend your appointment via the NHS e-Referral Service during this time.  Clinical services will continue to be provided as normal.
