The NHS Benchmarking Network is a UK-wide member led community of Health and Social Care Organisations.
Members of the NHS Benchmarking Network contribute to datasets on priority service areas and then gain actionable insights that can be used to drive meaningful improvement. Membership creates opportunities to collaborate, share learning and drive meaningful peer-to-peer and national change.
Members gain access to a range of tools, resources and networking opportunities, that enable them to benchmark their services with their peers. Some of our datasets bring together publicly available data in an easy to use format, whilst many of our datasets are generated via tailored data collections, offering unique insight into services not available elsewhere. You can find out more about our member datasets here. Organisations who are members of the Network have access to all of our current and previous datasets available in the Members' area.
The member work programme is approved by the Network Steering Group following extensive consultations with the sector based Reference Groups and with members on the topics to be included in the programme.
