Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) is an NHS Foundation Trust which provides mental health and community services across Northamptonshire, England, and specialist services in prisons. It runs St Mary's Hospital Kettering, the Squirrels, the Sett and Willow Close in Upton, Battle House and Berrywood Hospital in Northampton, Isebrook Hospital in Wellingborough and sexual health services at Northampton General Hospital and St Mary's Hospital.
The Trust delivers a comprehensive range of physical and mental health services that are tailored to meet the needs of the people of Northamptonshire and beyond. Services are delivered in service users own homes, through GP practices, clinics, schools, prisons and in residential and hospital environments. An elderly man died of a heart attack while waiting to be seen by a consultant in the A&E department of a hospital run by the Trust. It is accepted that a consultant should have seen the patient sooner but unclear if the patient's life could have been saved. Overcrowding in the A&E is blamed for the delay.[1]
The two commissioners of services at the Trust are NHS Nene Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Corby Clinical Commissioning Group.
In November 2015, chief executive Angela Hillery was a finalist for the HSJ Chief Executive of the Year. [2]
In March 2017, the Trust was rated 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission.[3]
