We're delighted that LHCH has once again been named one of the BEST hospitals in the country, according to this year’s national NHS Adult Inpatient Survey 2023. The survey, published today, August 21st, showed LHCH was TOP in the country for the ‘confidence and trust that patients had in the doctors treating them’. We were also one of the top rated trusts in the country overall. The results also recognised LHCH as SECOND in the country for the ‘Hospital and Ward’, and one of the TOP THREE trusts in the country for 'Your care and treatment', and 'Kindness and compassion'.

About us
Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital provides specialist services in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, respiratory medicine including adult cystic fibrosis and diagnostic imaging, both in the hospital and out in the community. LHCH serves a catchment area of 2.8 million people, spanning Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the Isle of Man, and increasingly receives referrals from outside these areas for highly specialised services such as aortics. Heart and lung disease continue to be among the biggest killers in the UK and the communities served by LHCH are marked by increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease, higher levels of heart failure, hypertension, coronary artery disease and an ageing population. LHCH has a national reputation for strong performance, which is important in delivering the best care for patients and their families, and high quality clinical services. This is underpinned by a culture of research and innovation, delivered in modern estate and facilitated by technology. New and upgraded clinical areas are designed with patients and families fully involved to deliver their needs. As part of a long term plan, LHCH aims to form strong clinical and organisational relationships where possible. There is clear evidence that partnerships improve patient care and enhance quality and LHCH seeks to collaborate with a range of other providers and professionals to extend access and improve quality. For 9 out of the last 12 years, LHCH has been recognised by patients in the National Inpatient Survey as the best hospital in the country for overall patient experience.

LHCH is one of the first trusts in the country to provide a new life-changing treatment to patients with a condition known as obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). 👏 HCM affects 1 in 500 people and causes thickening of the heart muscles, affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood properly, causing irregular heart rhythms, palpitations, chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, and even sudden death. Mavacamten, an approved drug for NHS use, has been shown to be effective in relieving obstruction, improving blood flow, controlling symptoms and improving quality of life for people with obstructive HCM. One of the first nine patients in the UK to be prescribed Mavacamten, was Chris Jones, from Stockport, who was referred to Dr Rob Cooper at LHCH in late 2023. Take a watch of Chris’s story to find out about his condition and the signifanct difference Mavacamten has made to Chris’s overall quality of life. ➡️ https://shorturl.at/SihPU
