Top Hospitals 2009

"Many thanks for a most enjoyable and memorable evening at Tate Britain. I much appreciated the ambience of such a historic place, and your hospitality was most generous."
Luke March, Chairman, Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust

 "A great event - my thanks to all".
Rosemary Hittinger, Group Governance Director, HCA International

The stunning Great Hall at Lincoln's Inn was the auspicious venue for the 2009 awards ceremony.  Closed to the public, Lincoln's Inn is the country's oldest Inn of Court, dating back to 1422.  The historic complex of mediaeval and Georgian buildings is a haven from the bustle of the city, unknown even to the many Londoners who pass the gates everyday.  An audience of 170 people from over 80 healthcare organisations, key figures and industry media celebrated outstanding performance at the 2009 CHKS Top Hospitals awards.
