Gerald Coteman receiving the award from Graham Harries,
Chief Executive of CHKS Limited and Addenbrooke's has been named one of the UK's 'top 40 hospitals' for the fifth time in the annual Top Hospitals Awards run by CHKS, an international company specialising in measuring healthcare performance. The Cambridge hospital was the only teaching foundation trust to achieve this accolade. The top-performing hospitals were rated on 18 different performance indicators, including mortality rates, cancelled procedures and information from patient surveys, to assess clinical effectiveness, outcomes, efficiency and patient-carer experience. Graham Harries, Chief Executive of CHKS commented: "We are aware of how hard our clients are working to achieve targets in a very challenging environment. With the tendency for positive messages to be overshadowed, we are proud to be able to highlight and reward some of the best practice and excellent work done in the NHS. These success stories should not only give patients faith in their health service but also reward staff for their dedication and efforts to improve their performance and provide the best service they can." Gerald Coteman, one of Addenbrooke's non-executive directors, received
the award at a ceremony on 4 May. |
