Our partners
From healthcare policy, leaders and local providers through to patients and a range of national stakeholders, our partnerships are integral to translating evidence into improvement.
HQIP /
HQIP plays a central role in enabling system-wide quality improvement, but we can only do this with the support of a multitude of organisations across the healthcare sector. Data highlights where healthcare is working well, and where improvements are needed. As a trusted commissioner of clinical audits and similar programmes for NHS England and others, we deliver the data. However, we are indebted to our many collaborators who make this possible, and who apply evidence the evidence to understand performance and deliver effective change.
We believe that lasting change is only possible through collaboration. Our work is shaped by the insights, influence and shared commitment of our partners. Together, we build the conditions for improvement: trusted data, connected systems, engaged professionals, and responsive, patient-focused care. Our partners include:
- National and policy partners
- Healthcare leadership and professional networks
- Trusts and healthcare providers
- Charities and patient voice advocates
- Service user networks and associations
- Data, insight and research partners.
