Recognising and rewarding the best performing trusts across the UK, The CHKS Top Hospitals Awards are based on the evaluation of 22 indicators of clinical effectiveness, health outcomes, efficiency, patient experience and quality of care.
The Top Hospitals awards are data-driven and this year, for the first time, the award will consider clients and non-clients in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This means you don't have to be a CHKS client to be eligible for a Top Hospitals award. The award will now represent a performance compared to all hospitals throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
