DUDLEY'S hospital trust has been named as one of the best performing in the UK.
The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Russells Hall Hospital and The Guest Outpatients Centre in Dudley and Corbett Outpatients Centre in Stourbridge, picked up a CHKS Top Hospital Award 2016 at the ceremony in London.
The trust was named as one of the best performing in the UK in the awards which recognise healthcare organisations that have excelled in clinical effectiveness, health outcomes, efficiency, patient experience and quality of care.
It was also shortlisted in the ‘Excellence in Delivering 24-7 Emergency Care Award’ and ‘Data Quality Award’ categories at the annual event.
Paul Bytheway, chief operating officer at the Dudley Group, said: “We are thrilled to be recognised as one of the best performing trusts in the UK and this award is a testament to our dedicated staff who provide patients with the very best care, day in day out.”
