Chelsea and Westminster praised in independent assessment of NHS care

Chelsea and Westminster has been singled out for its good performance in two areas by the Dr Foster Hospital Guide, an annual independent healthcare survey published this week.

We were named as one of only two NHS trusts with lower than expected mortality rates after surgery among patients who had a secondary diagnosis such as internal bleeding, pneumonia or a blood clot. We were also praised for low rates of obstetric tears.

We are delighted by this independent assessment of our care for patients.
