Case studies

Northampton General Hospital

noviniti has been working with Northampton General Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to support their strategy of improving the staff, patient and visitor experience at Northampton General Hospital. The project culminated in July 2021 when the doors to the new Main Entrance were opened.

Improving staff, patient and visitor experience

The first phase of the project saw an extensive infrastructure works improvement package that included diverting the existing road and changes to car parking areas. These changes enabled the construction of the new Intensive Trauma Unit which the Main Entrance facility links to.
