NHS Benchmarking Network

Harnessing the power of data to drive meaningful change.

We are a UK wide, impartial, member-led community of health and social care organisations. 

Established in 1996, we deliver national and bespoke benchmarking projects and products to support planning and service improvement across healthcare.

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

Why become a member?

Our members gain a lot of value from Network membership by engaging with our data collections and products, joining events and sharing learning with their peers. By becoming a member, your organisation can:

  • Identify areas for service improvement

  • Assess productivity and performance

  • Share and learn from other members

Membership of the NHS Benchmarking Network is at organisation level. Once your organisation has signed up, all employees of the organisation can access the resources, discussion boards and events.

As part of our continuous improvement journey to achieve an outstanding rating the insights and intelligence gleaned from benchmarking have played a pivotal role in our transformation programmes.
