Our latest updates

Collaborative work between Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) and mental health charity, Mind, is ensuring individuals across the county receive enhanced mental health provisions.

Work is underway to deliver the Community Mental Health Transformation programme in Northamptonshire, which began in April 2021. Just three months into the three-year long transformation programme, there are already key milestones which the project has achieved.

Over the last year, NHFT’s Children’s Services, Communications and Participation Teams together with young people, parents, and carers, have co-produced a children’s digital hub on NHFT’s website. The exciting new hub will launch very soon.

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) is celebrating the role service users have in developing its services as part of ‘Co-production week’

We want to take reflect on our journey in 2020 into 2021, celebrating how teamNHFT and our volunteers rose to the changes and adapted so quickly to enable the safety and continued care for our patients, service users and carers.

After a hard 18 months, we’ve all got someone to say thank you to. Whether it’s our family, friends or work colleagues for keeping us going, to the neighbours for checking we were okay, the delivery drivers who kept food on the shelves, the volunteers who helped get the vaccine out, or the kids for learning from home – we want to get together to say thanks to them all. 

Colleagues, volunteers and patients at the Welland Centre, based at St Mary’s Hospital in Kettering, celebrated the official opening of a new workshop shed.

National changes to community mental health services are being implemented which impact how these services are provided in England.

NHFT healthcare colleagues working in Cambridgeshire’s secured services are actively encouraging residents who have misused drugs and alcohol, and are successfully recovered, to become Recovery Champions - a peer mentor role, designed to help and support fellow residents with substance misuse issues.
