Epsom and St Helier hospitals are providing the best quality of care in South West London and North Surrey according to a new report.
The report, which was compiled by the independent health consultancy MHP Health Mandate, gives an overall assessment of NHS quality in England and allows patients to see how local hospitals measure up against eachother.
The authors of the report look at 10 standards that matter most to patients like whether patients felt they experienced good care.
The Trust was in the top quarter of all hospitals for ensuring patients do not wait long for operations and in protecting them against the risk of being harmed.
Epsom and St Helier hospitals also scored better than the majority of other hospitals in the country for the low percentage of patients who had their operation cancelled at short notice.
The overall score saw the trust placed 91st out of 146 hospitals, ahead of other hospitals such as Croydon and St George's.
Matthew Hopkins, Chief Executive, said: "These findings contain some fantastic results for our hospitals, but we recognise that at 91st in the country, there are many aspects of our service we need to improve"
"But what the report does do is highlight our performance in both national and local terms. We recognise that there is work to do on a national scale but we are very pleased that we are also recognised as providing the best patient care of any Trust in south west London and north Surrey"
"And of course, we are delighted that local people can now compare the strengths and weaknesses of their local hospital more easily than before."
When compared against other trusts in south west London and Surrey only Royal Surrey and Frimley hospitals did better.
The findings of the report will be welcome news to the trust with the Better Services Better Value review set to outline their findings for hospitals in South West London.
