South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, which operates Warwick Hospital, was ranked as the 25th best within acute trusts, with Nuneaton’s George Eliot ranked at 121st place.
Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust, which is responsible for mental health treatment, was rated at 51 in the non-acute trust, external league table.
Of UHCW’s ranking, Prof Hardy said: “We are disappointed by our position in the national oversight table and we are looking at all the metrics to see where we can use our improvement methodology (UHCWi) to make positive changes for our patients,” he said.
“Through the efforts of our staff, we have already seen improvements in some key areas.
“We continue to strive to provide high levels of service for our patients as evidenced by our recent CQC inspection, which rated both our hospitals, University Hospital Coventry and the Hospital of St Cross, Rugby, as ‘Good’ for patient care and safety.”
