 Barts and The London NHS Trust has topped a national league table of major teaching hospitals for quality of services.
The Healthcare Commission’s Annual Health Check, published on Thursday 12 October, 2006 confirmed that the services provided at the Trust’s three hospitals - Barts in the City, The Royal London in Whitechapel and The London Chest in Bethnal Green - are of excellent quality.
Barts and The London was the only major teaching hospital in the capital and the only acute hospital in East London found to be providing excellent quality services.
The Healthcare Commission examined every hospital in the country to see how they were performing against a range of measures, including how long patients wait for treatment, patient safety and how well the organisation is run. Barts and The London scored highly overall.
The rating builds on an already strong track record, including the country’s best survival rate record and six unbroken years of achieving break even.
Paul White, Chief Executive of Barts and The London NHS Trust, said: “I am delighted that Barts and The London has been recognised as providing excellent quality services. This rating, which ranks Barts and The London as the top teaching hospitals in the country, reflects the hard work and commitment of our staff, who strive everyday to ensure patients receive the very best care from the moment they come through our doors to the moment they leave.
