Ward visiting times and telephone numbers

Visiting arrangements for adult wards updated 28.12.2022

Visiting suspended and mask wearing reintroduced at NGH and KGH as COVID and flu infections increase.
 
From tomorrow (Thursday 29 December 2022) both Northampton and Kettering General Hospitals are suspending visiting for adult inpatient wards and are asking patients and any visitors to the hospital to wear a mask, due to a significant increase in COVID, flu and RSV.
 
These measures aim to reduce infection risk to vulnerable patients, prevent the spread of infections and help to prevent staff absences.
 
Visiting will be restricted to compassionate visiting only for adult wards. Both hospitals will be offering increased virtual visiting to support patients to keep in touch with loved ones.
 
Maternity, paediatrics and patients who need compassionate visiting will not be affected and will continue with their current policies. Compassionate visiting can be discussed on an individual basis with the ward team.
 
Patients and visitors will all be asked to wear masks when in the hospital to help to protect them and others from the risk of infection. Masks will be available for those who need them, but we would please ask people to bring their own where possible.
This guidance will be reviewed continuously, and the hospital will provide regular updates via their website and in local media.
