Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 16:19 · Archive

Horton General Hospital's hip fracture team has been recognised in the latest National Hip Fracture Database Annual Report for outstanding care.

Horton General Hospital's hip fracture team has been ranked in the top ten nationally for the 14th consecutive year in the National Hip Fracture Database Annual Report, which covers data from January to December 2025. The report highlights outstanding patient outcomes and consistent excellence across key care indicators.

The hospital achieved 82.6 per cent of patients meeting all Best Practice Tariff criteria, well above the national average of 47.3 per cent. Horton's 30-day adjusted mortality rate was 5.1 per cent, compared to the national average of nearly six per cent.

Sam Anand, clinical lead for trauma at Horton General Hospital, said the results reflect 'the hard work, dedication, and close collaboration of our multidisciplinary team – from emergency department staff and orthopaedic surgeons to geriatricians, anaesthetists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and ward nurses.' Felicity Taylor-Drewe, chief operating officer at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said the team has 'demonstrated what can be achieved through a patient-centred, team-based approach'.
