Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust is an acute NHS hospital trust that offers a full range of hospital services from the main hospital site close to the centre of Northampton. The Trust provides general acute services and hyper-acute stroke, vascular and renal services to people living throughout the whole of Northamptonshire. The trust is also an accredited cancer centre, providing services to a wider population of around 900,000 who live in Northamptonshire and parts of Buckinghamshire.
