RNOH maintains position as second best performing acute/specialist Trust in England 

The NHS has published the second round of league tables ranking every trust in England and we’re delighted to announce that we have maintained our position as the second highest rated of all acute/specialist providers in the NHS.  You can view the league table here  (click on 'Leage Table' tab in menu bar)

This ranking reflects the professionalism and commitment RNOH staff display every day to ensure we deliver the very best care to our complex and diverse patient group.  

Professor Paul Fish, RNOH Chief Executive, said: “We’ve maintained our number two ranking down to the hard-working staff, volunteers and partners who deliver the best care, consistently, to our patients. I want to extend my thanks to them all for ensuring RNOH stays the best orthopaedic centre in the UK and a global centre of excellence.” 

The rankings are published under the NHS Oversight Framework  which provides a consistent and transparent approach to assessing NHS trusts and integrated care boards (ICBs), ensuring public accountability for performance and providing a foundation for how NHS England works with systems and providers to support improvement. 

The roles and responsibilities for Trusts cover delivery of high quality (safe, effective and positive patient experience) and efficient care, and compliance with the requirements of the NHS provider licence. 

The performance assessment measures each provider’s delivery on key metrics across six domains. They are: 

• Access to services 

• Effectiveness and experience of care 

• Patient safety 

• People and workforce 

• Finance and productivity 

• Improving health and reducing inequality (non-scoring) 
   

RNOH came out at number two nationally when measured against these metrics. This result demonstrates that RNOH is not only the top national provider of orthopaedic care, but also one of the best performing acute Trusts in England and Wales when measured against these crucial indicators.
