Huge congratulations to our Hip Fracture Team at the Horton General Hospital, who have once again been named as one of the best in the country for the fourteenth year running 🎉

The Horton General Hospital has ranked in the top ten hospitals nationally for achieving the Best Practice Tariff (BPT) – a quality-based benchmark for hip fracture care. In 2025, 82.6% of Horton’s hip fracture patients met all BPT criteria, significantly higher than the national average of 47.3%.

The latest figures were published in the annual National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) Annual Report. The report, which covers data from January to December 2025 and includes contributions from 174 hospitals across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, highlights the Horton team’s exceptional and consistent performance.

Thank you to the team for all that you do for our patients - more information on the team's impressive achievement is in our news story in the comments ⬇️

Some great news for young audiology patients in Banbury ⬇️

Some great news for young audiology patients in Banbury and the surrounding areas – a new facility is currently in development to bring care closer to home at the Horton General Hospital.

The facility will provide a dedicated, fit-for-purpose environment for paediatric audiology services. It will include a soundproof room with specialist equipment, enabling clinicians to carry out a range of hearing assessments for children.

The project represents an investment of approximately £300,000, and is expected to be completed in October.

✨ With our Staff Recognition Awards taking place on Thursday 18 June, we’ll be shining a spotlight on some of this year’s brilliant finalists.

First up is Jason Rigby, Senior Operational Facilities Manager, shortlisted in the Compassion category for the difference he’s made as Director of the Horton Power Choir 🎶

Nominated by a colleague, Jason was praised for putting staff at the heart of everything he does, creating “an environment of encouragement and worth”.

What started as a choir in 2023 has grown into a real wellbeing community of more than 70 colleagues and “become so much more than a choir”.

Jason said: “It is a privilege to have founded and run this hospital choir. I do all I can to align the choir to the Trust values and put wellbeing at the centre of its purpose.

“All the work required to make the choir operational is repaid in droves - when you watch a choir member arrive at rehearsal having had a tough day, and then leave with a smile on their face having embraced the community that is offered within the choir, nothing beats it.”

Huge congratulations to Jason and all our finalists – and good luck on awards night!
