The NHS Benchmarking Network is unique because it is a member-led organisation dedicated exclusively to the NHS and health and social care sectors. We offer a collaborative approach to benchmarking, bringing together expertise from across the system to drive improvement in care quality, efficiency, and outcomes.

Our member work programme and its projects are co-designed with members from our Steering Group and Reference Groups. This ensures they address the specific challenges and priorities of our members.

Health and care organisations across the UK are eligible to become members of the Network. Our current member profile includes NHS providers, independent providers, national bodies and ICBs.  Find our current member list here

We are always delighted to welcome new members to our community. Organisations can join as a member at any stage in the year. To enquire about becoming, please get in touch.
