Ward staff will then ensure the bouquet reaches your loved one as soon as possible. Because some clinical areas such as intensive care, oncology and certain children's wards do not accept fresh flowers for infection control reasons, we recommend checking with the ward before ordering.

Are there any wards at Kettering General Hospital that do not accept flowers?
Yes, like most NHS hospitals, Kettering General Hospital restricts fresh flowers in certain clinical areas, including intensive care, the neonatal unit, and some haematology and oncology wards, due to infection control.
