Local hospital part of newly awarded Hospital Group of the Year

The Montefiore Hospital in Hove is one of the newest additions to Spire Healthcare, who were recently named Hospital Group of the Year at the HealthInvestor Awards.

It was on Wednesday 11 June 2014, in London, that the parent company of the Montefiore Hospital officially received their accolade. The annual HealthInvestor Awards is one of the main events for the health sector and is run by the trade publication of the same name.

Andy Wood, Director for the Montefiore Hospital, says: “We are delighted to be a part of the Hospital Group of the Year.

We are pleased the judges recognised the investments made in the company and the hard work and dedication everyone at Spire Healthcare gives to providing high quality patient care. I hope this highlights to the local people of Brighton and Hove that they have access to a high quality, award-winning hospital, right on their doorstep.”

The judges said: “In a very tight category, Spire just got the award due to their recent numerous and quantifiable measures taken, underpinning their efforts to ensure service excellence.”

Spire Healthcare claimed the title of Hospital Group of the Year due to their strong performance during 2013. Highlights of the year included continued investments in hospitals, maintaining its high patient satisfaction rates, and having exemplary clinical outcomes.
