The HQIP Trustees’ Report and Accounts outlines our objectives, achievements and financial report for the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. It also includes information about our plans for the future, and provides an opportunity to hear from our Chair, Dame Celia Ingham Clark, and CEO, Chris Gush, about us and our work: “We are approaching what will be, no doubt, a period of significant change for the healthcare sector in the UK… What will be important going forward, is our collective response to the government’s aim to ‘empower NHS staff to deliver better care for patients’. HQIP’s role in this response is clear. It is to provide evidence – focusing on outcome measures – to support targeted improvement that will save and improve patients’ lives.”
The data we already have must be the starting point for any major reform” Chair and CEO statement, HQIP annual report, 2024-25
