Welcome to the

NHS Benchmarking Network

Providing essential data that drives decision making within the NHS.

Established in 1996, the NHS Benchmarking Network is a member community of health and social care providers and commissioners, and like-minded organisations. We deliver national and bespoke benchmarking projects to support planning and service improvement across the acute, community, and mental health, learning disabilities and autism sectors.

Our vision is to enable members to improve patient outcomes, raise health standards and deliver quality health and care services through data excellence, benchmarking and the sharing of innovation.

Our Foundation membership is available to organisations looking to access useful intelligence, share, collaborate and learn from others in the member community. Member organisations are at the forefront of analysis on current national, regional and system level health and social care topics.

Insight membership allows organisations to access useful intelligence, share, collaborate and learn from the member community. It offers tailored features and services to support organisations in maximising the insights from NHSBN project data and national sources, removing barriers to improvement.
