North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) and University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW), which form Bristol NHS Group have been awarded ‘Green’ in the Provider Capability rankings for this quarter by NHS England.
A ‘Green’ ranking confirms that there is high confidence in the trusts’ ability to deliver on its priorities based on our performance over the past 12-24 months and that there are no concerns evident from that performance.
Between August and October 2025, all NHS trusts and Foundation trusts carried out a self-assessment, in which we measured criteria in areas including Strategy and Planning, Quality of Care, People and culture, Access, Productivity and Finance.
After submitting our self-assessments to regional NHS teams, they have ratified our findings and awarded us with a ‘Green’ rating.
Maria Kane, Chief Executive of Bristol NHS Group, said: “As we move closer to merging our two organisations, this ‘Green’ rating recognises our commitment to delivering on our ambitions to provide seamless and sustainable joined-up care for the populations we serve and the public purse.”
“I want to thank our clinical colleagues for that commitment to exceptional patient care day-in, day-out. This ‘Green’ ranking is a result of that ongoing hard work.”
