About University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group

The University Hospitals of Northamptonshire Group was formed in 2021 to bring Kettering General Hospital and Northampton General Hospital together.  Working together and achieving University Hospital status has improved academic opportunities for colleagues, access to research, and new treatments for patients. We are continuing to create opportunities for key clinical collaborations, with work already underway in Head & Neck, ENT and the delivery of the Cardiology Centre of Excellence for Northamptonshire.
