HQIP owns the copyright on behalf of NHSE for the NHSE commissioned publications, as well as the copyright for quality improvement and development resources.
Our copyright request service ensures that materials, such as tables, text, and other information, from programmes we commission, and host are available for research, quality improvement, service evaluation and evidence-based decision making.
This service is free to charities, UK publicly funded organisations, educational publishers and the NHS, including clinicians working within the contact of the NHS. Similarly, if the information requested is already freely available on data.gov.uk, there will be no charge.
However, fees are currently charged where HQIP material is being use for commercial / pharma / revenue generating purposes.
Please note that our copyright request service does not include data. If you would like to submit a data access request, please visit our data access requests webpage.
