Our latest updates

This week is Dementia Action Week (16-22 May), which is an awareness raising campaign to encourage individuals and organisations across the UK to ‘act on dementia’.

The theme this year is DIAGNOSIS.

“Headfest” is a week-long mental health focused event taking place at the Royal and Derngate theatre, Northampton, during Mental Health Awareness Week, from Monday 9 May - Sunday 15 May.

20% of women will experience a mental health condition during pregnancy and up to a year after having a baby. Of those, 70% will hide or underplay how they’re feeling.

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) is a long-term partner of iWantGreatCare (iWGC) and uses iWGC across all its mental health and community services to listen to what service users are saying and use this insight to make quality improvements and build a ‘patient first’ culture within the organisation.
