A&E Performance Summary – Shelford Group Aggregates

Source: NHS England A&E Attendances and Emergency Admissions, June 2026 (published 9 July 2026). Figures are aggregated totals or averages across all 10 Shelford Group trusts. Note: from April 2026, NHS England reports headline 4-hour performance on an "acute trust footprint" basis (local Type 3/minor injury unit activity mapped to the acute trust); this and the June 2025–June 2026 trend below both use that basis.
