** About Us **
Kettering General Hospital is a medium-sized district general hospital which provides a wide range of services to about 300,000 people in North Northamptonshire.
The hospital has served its local community since 1897. It became an NHS Trust in 1994 and a Foundation Trust in November 2008.
The Trust's goal is to provide the highest standards of care for all of its patients and to fully support carers and visitors.
It has developed many state-of-the-art facilities run by highly qualified staff including;
* An £18m short-stay surgery Centre – The Treatment Centre – which enables the
majority of operations to be done with stays of less than 48 hours.
* A £4.7m Cardiac Centre providing heart-related treatments closer to people’s
homes.
