The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) is a consortium of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, the Royal College of Nursing and National Voices. The vision is that HQIP will be a major force in professionally led quality improvement in healthcare in the UK.  

The major area of work is the commissioning, management and development of the national clinical audit and patient outcomes programme which we undertake on behalf of NHS England (approximately £13M per annum).  HQIP also hosts the National Joint Registry and has an ambitious new business development ethos.  We currently have 40 staff and an annual turnover of approx. £22M.

Our vision
HQIP aims to improve health outcomes by enabling those who commission, deliver and receive healthcare to measure and improve our healthcare services.

Our vision can only be achieved through the support of an active board of trustees whose primary role is the strategic governance of HQIP. Trustees assist in developing the overall strategic direction of the partnership, and oversee the governance and probity of the organisation. 

Our values
HQIP is a charity and a company limited by guarantee. It is an independent organisation working in partnership with patients and healthcare professionals, to influence and improve healthcare practice at all levels. We seek to be open and accountable and pledge to listen, learn and respond as part of an ongoing cycle of improvement.
