A long-term partner of NHS England, the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) is an independent charity with the primary aim of improving health outcomes for patients through evidence-informed change and service design. We achieve this by supporting robust quality improvement through national clinical audit, clinical outcome review programmes and registries as well as providing a wide range of reports, guidance, benchmarking and other related resources and services. While always evidence-based, our work (and its value in supporting targeted improvement) goes far beyond data collection. By identifying where resources are needed most, and where they would make the greatest difference, our approach offers maximum impact for those who plan, deliver and use health and care services.
