Staff and doctors at The Ridgeway Hospital in Wroughton have been recognised for the quality of care they deliver to patients.
The prestigious Private Hospital Group of the Year award is presented to an organisation whose hospitals show excellence in their delivery of care, commitment to the community and innovation in healthcare.
This is the third time that the hospital has won.
The hospital is part of Circle Health Group, and group CEO Paolo Pieri said: “The award is a testament to what was an amazing year for The Ridgeway Hospital.
"Teams across the hospital work tirelessly to support patients in their community and I couldn’t be prouder of what they have achieved.”
The latest statistics show 92 percent of patients who visited The Ridgeway Hospital rated their experience as ‘very good’ in addition to 80 percent of employees recommending the hospital to a friend.
Independent analysis of Circle Health Group’s hospitals’ hip and knee procedure outcomes using PROMS (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) showed that Circle’s results were 95 percent higher than the NHS benchmark, and overall were two percent higher than the private sector average.
The award data also noted the extraordinarily high levels of staff satisfaction and engagement at the hospital. Last year teams across the hospital mobilised to gather, sort and send urgently needed medical supplies to six hospitals in Ukraine.
In total the hospital’s efforts contributed to £3m worth of medical supplies in 12 months - the largest single contribution made by a UK business to the crisis in Ukraine.
In addition to charitable work, the hospital was recognised for its commitment to staff wellbeing and career development opportunities. Across the organisation 292 apprentices successfully completed or began higher education courses, with 30 different clinical and no-clinical programmes available, and many of those apprentices came from Ridgeway Hospital.
This is the third time the hospital has received national recognition for its approach to support patients. No other independent provider or hospital has received this successive recognition for innovation, clinical success and employment opportunities.
