Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP)

We aim to improve health outcomes by enabling those who commission, deliver and receive healthcare to measure and improve our healthcare services. We are led by a consortium of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, the Royal College of Nursing and patient representation group National Voices. We commission, manage, support and promote national and local programmes of quality improvement. This includes the national clinical audit programme, the clinical outcome review programme and the National Joint Registry on behalf of NHS England and other healthcare departments and organisations. We ensure patients and carers remain at the heart of our work through continued, strategic involvement in all relevant processes and projects We support healthcare professionals to review and improve their practice by providing education and training programmes, and opportunities to share best practice as part of promoting an integrated approach to quality improvement We work to inform and influence national healthcare policy by effectively communicating its work and that of its partners We encourage wide use of robust data for quality improvement of care, offering patient choice, promoting patient safety, supporting revalidation and service accreditation, commissioning, service redesign, and research We are committed to being an efficient, well run organisation, which supports staff development and welfare.
