What is the ranking of your hospital trust.

Correction I meant to say out of 134 trusts.

The trust in the NE has ranked really highly ( not surprised: when I stay at my partners the health care is excellent). Wes Streeting is going to use it to improve the service in other parts of the country.

Middle of the table for us - given the amount of building work going on that feels about right.
We have always received excellent care from various departments.

The hospital where I will probably have my knee replaced is near the bottom of the list …

I don’t know whether it still is, but just a few years ago our local hospital was apparently the only acute hospital in the London area to have an Outstanding rating.
If the treatment I was given when I had pneumonia and pleurisy in 2023 was anything to go by, it was certainly well merited.

Our Trust ranked 66. Which I think is respectable.

Is it possible to drill down to individual hospitals, MayBee?

Ours is in the bottom 5- I’ve always had positive experiences there so I have mixed feelings about this. I’m not sure if an overall rating is a good thing- some trusts may be good at some things, but bad at others- I think more detail would be helpful.

About as bad as it gets.

I sympathise.

Sorry to have to say it but our Ambulance service is the worst in the country according to this. Our second largest hospital is also the worst in the country and our largest hospital is down in the hundreds.

It bears out my comments on here a few days ago unfortunately.

All the surrounding county ones seem pretty bad, too!

When my husband was in hospital myself and the family took over his care after arriving time and again to find his hands covered in fecal matter and nobody had done the oral care he needed because he had oral thrush, we cleaned him and did the oral care, I even got bed linen and changed the bed with the help of a HCA because he was left sleeping on dirty sheets. A HCA whose mum had been in a ward at the same hospital said that she also had taken over her mums care.
We did complain to PALs

My local hospital is close to yours babs. My Mum got excellent treatment in the stroke unit but anywhere else and the care was dreadful. The problem is the hospital is now too small for the area it serves with no hope of anything better.

Ours is near yours Babs - just above but only by a few.

Really the poorest should be the ones getting £££ in my thinking!

Please...

Where are people getting information about the rankings of their local hospitals from?

I think it would have been fairer to publish the ratings for separate categories rather than add them altogether for a total rating.

The hospital at the bottom of the “league” has been struggling for years with a building constructed badly from the start and that is now held up with a crisscross of supporting poles.
That doesn’t say anything about the quality of treatment but would inevitably bring it well down the league table.

Papworth, which was near the top of this league, wouldn’t have fared as well twenty years ago when most of its treatments seem to be delivered in a motley collection of huts and mobile units. But the treatment even then was renowned throughout the world.

It’s the detail that matters not the score, I think.

Also there seems to be no accounting for the practice of hospitals transferring difficult cases to other hospitals with specialist medical units, thus affecting the outcomes score, since the sicker the patient, the more likely a poor outcome.

That’s true. QE Hospital at King’s Lynn came out worst in the country.

My Mum had 3 weeks in there about 9 years ago after a serious fall. Even then there were props holding up the place.

However, the staff were brilliant and so kind to her. The food was good and they really looked after her. When she left we gave the staff a Thank You card and big box of chocs.

I don’t need a see a rating as to good/bad my hospital is.
I only know how bad it was for me and 2 friends ( separate families) who have had close relatives die through neglect and wrong diagnosis 🤬

My heart attack was treated at Papworth in the "motley collection of huts and mobile units". There was nothing wrong with the cath lab where I was treated and the staff were superb.

The post-op wards were grim. I was in a six bed ward. Unfortunately, there were only five beds, so one poor patient had to sleep on a trolley. When a patient was discharged, the bed was given to the person on a trolley - until a new patient was admitted, who had to go on the trolley. The day room for patients was delapidated. The TV didn't work, there were holes in the chairs and the whole place looked scruffy and dirty. The sleep clinic was a nightmare - literally!

I'm not surprised QEH in Kings Lynn is bottom of the table. My mother was treated there just before she died in 2017 and it was like navigating a bomb site even then. My sister was treated for breast cancer there, but they didn't even have a machine for follow-up radiotherapy and she had to travel to Cambridge every day.

I must be very dim

I have the NHS England table with the rankings of all the NHS Trusts. I've found my trust's ranking (as I said earlier)

Your link to the ITV page isn't at al helpful with regard to individual hospitals. What am I missing?

No idea

I do know my family members all had care and treatment there this past yearb
