Introducing NCA-ACE: a new national collaboration for clinical audit and effectiveness

30 Apr 2026

The National Clinical Audit and Clinical Effectiveness Collaborative (NCA-ACE) is being launched by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership on behalf of NHS England.

A dedicated workspace on NHS Futures will provide a national hub for clinical audit and effectiveness professionals to connect, share best practice, and align local work with national audit and registry programmes. National stakeholders will join a biannual meeting to share the wider work being undertaken, for example, CQC, HSSIB, NICE.

NCA-ACE will support collaboration, reduce duplication, and strengthen the use of data to drive quality improvement across the NHS.

All eligible members will receive an invite and a full calendar of events for 2026 is now available.
