Alder Hey has recently been recognised as one of the top performing NHS trusts in England for seeing A&E patients within four hours.
Alder Hey came second in national rankings, with 89.3% of patients seen within the target, and it had the second lowest number of patients waiting more than 12 hours.
The urgent and emergency care capital incentive scheme awards trusts who see and discharge most A&E patients within the NHS target of four hours.
It also recognises those who have cut the number of 12-hour waits in emergency departments and improved ambulance response time.
Alder Hey was also in the top five trusts with the highest four-hour performance when comparing March 2024 to March 2025.
Dr Michael Gregory, regional medical director for NHS England, said staff had worked “incredibly hard to deliver high quality urgent and emergency services”.
He said that was reflected in the achievement of being named as some of England’s best performing trusts.
“We recognise there is more to do and we are committed to working with NHS organisations in the North-West to continue this journey of improvement”, he added.
