About

We provide a full range of acute clinical services from Northampton General Hospital and Danetre Hospital in Daventry. We are a designated cancer centre and have recently invested in a number of additional specialist services, including in-patient renal services and interventional cardiology. All elective inpatients and emergency admissions are screened for MRSA. As part of our work to improve clinical outcomes we are taking part in a national patient safety programme and have invested in systems to capture patients views on the service we provide. We understand that sometimes a small change can make a big difference for patients.

Our whole focus is on improving the quality of care given to our patients. We see quality as encompassing the following elements:
Clinically effective services
Safe services
The best possible experience for patients

We also believe in involving others in what we do and celebrating success.
