The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre has been placed in the best-performing segment of a new national ranking system for NHS organisations in England. It also achieved the eighth best score nationally out of the 134 acute NHS providers that were assessed.
The NHS Oversight Framework (NOF) rates NHS organisations in England against a range of metrics that cover waiting times, treatment outcomes, patient safety, patient experience, people and workforce, and finance and productivity.
There are 4 segments:
1 – High performing
2 – Above average
3 – Below average
4 – Low performing
The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre has been placed in segment 1 (best performing), based on our performance in the first quarter (April, May and June) of 2024/25. Ratings will be updated every three months and published on a national website.
Not all metrics apply to every organisation. For example, only hospitals with emergency departments are scored on A&E waiting times. Some metrics are based on whether an organisation is achieving targets in the plan it agreed with NHS England for 2025/26.
Joan Spencer, Chief Executive of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, said:
The NHS Oversight Framework assesses organisations against a rigorous set of criteria. Being placed in the best-performing segment is a real testament to the hard work of our staff and teams who deserve enormous credit for these results.
We are committed to building on this through ongoing innovation, collaboration and dedication to providing excellent care to the people we serve.
