Kettering General Hospital is located in the beautiful countryside of Northamptonshire. It has excellent road and rail network links to and from London, the East Midlands and Birmingham and the hospital is just off the A14 giving easy access to the M1.

We provide acute healthcare services for the people of North Northamptonshire and South Leicestershire. Our services are delivered from our main hospital site in Kettering, and satellite outpatient facilities at Nene Park in Irthlingborough, Corby Health Complex and Isebrook Hospital in Wellingborough.

There is no better time to join Kettering General Hospital as we have started on a major programme to secure new investment in our buildings that enables us to improve our services and benefit our patients and the wider health and social care system. We have received provisional funding of £46M to build a new Urgent Care Hub to replace our current A&E department and have been selected as one of 21 NHS Trusts eligible to apply for government funding to improve our buildings and estate as part of the Health Infrastructure Plan.
