Moorfields rated highest nationally in first NHS league tables

NHS England has, for the first time, published tables that compare trusts against a wide range of criteria for the NHS Oversight framework. Against this raft of measures, Moorfields was rated highest among acute and specialist trusts for Quarter 1, 2025/26.

The evaluation covered a number of performance and finance themes, as well as safety and engagement metrics from the annual staff survey. 

Interim chief executive Peter Ridley said: “We are delighted to be recognised in this first table. Many of these are areas we have focussed on, and will continue to do so.

“Many thanks to all our staff at Moorfields; this performance reflects their dedication and commitment.”
