Latest CQC Report for Northampton General Hospital

Care Quality Commision

You can read the latest CQC report, which assesses how well led Northampton General Hospital is, here.

The inspection, which took place in September 2025, rated the organisation as requiring improvement.

We accept the findings of the report and recognise that there are areas where we need to improve.

Since the inspection, we have taken clear action to strengthen our leadership, governance and culture. This includes strengthening how we learn from incidents and feedback, further embedding our patient safety framework, and introducing an independent Freedom to Speak Up service to improve confidence, confidentiality and transparency for colleagues.

There is more to do, and we are committed to delivering these improvements with focus and pace. This will support our aim to provide safe, high-quality care and a positive experience for all patients and colleagues.

We will continue to work closely with colleagues, partners and the CQC to ensure these improvements are embedded and sustained.
