Working in the Critical Care Unit at Northampton General Hospital, we are a large multidisciplinary team, who work in unison to care, treat and heal some of the sickest patients in the hospital. We are a unit that comprises of 16 critical care beds with a workforce of hundreds of healthcare professionals

The unit gets very busy, the workload is extreme and intense, but we keep going and we never give up.

As a vast team of healthcare professionals, we all work together through some of the toughest situations, we work long hours, under immense pressure to meet the demands of a bustling unit. But it is with care and compassion that we give everything we can, we push the boundaries and work tirelessly to make things right.


This last 18 months has seen even some of the strongest struggle, with the ever lasting heartbreak and emotive situations we've all endured during this awful pandemic. We have dedicated our lives to our profession and we have exceeded our expectations in not only our own abilities, but the abilities of our team. We have worked in exhaustively to combat Covid, we have cried with our patients, we have cried together, we have cried alone.......but through it all the camaraderie has been off the scale, and we beam nothing but pride for our team.

I truly believe that we have learnt more than most in the value of love....and loss, through what we have seen.

18 of our Critical Care team are hiking the mountain of Snowdon to help raise much needed funds for our staff, to help boost wellbeing and morale and to help support and improve our rehabilitation services for patients. There are many ways to improve our morale and our facilities, however it is only with charitable donations we can do this.

Working in such a busy, intense environment, there are various things that we can change to not only support our staff, but our patients too, making their experience with us more bearable and patient-centred, but to also rest and reassure our loving staff. We take great pride in our team and the care that we offer, and will endeavour to share how we have improved our services following our incredible hike.

We have several ongoing wellbeing projects for the staff, whether this be meaningful projects, counselling or things to make the staff room more cosy and relaxing - we are constantly looking at ways to support our team and to focus on reflection and mental health as a priority, especially during these difficult times.

We also aim to look at rehabilitation for our patients, sometimes our patients have long stays with us and the 4 walls of our unit can be draining.  We look to work with the physiotherapists teams to see how we can improve our rehabilitation services and what we can introduce to aid our patients going forwards, thus improving our valuable facilities.

Please helps us raise these funds by sponsoring whatever you can to the attached link, we are grateful for your support and look forward to sharing our stories of the mountain, and our ongoing stories of our critical care development.
