Influencing healthcare policy

We work with our members to influence key decisions and national policy development in the interests of the NHS, patients and the public.

We know that Government and national stakeholders value and listen to us because our views are informed by our members' expert knowledge of every part of the NHS.

Find out about our work with Government, parliament, stakeholders and the media.

Making sense of the whole health system

We help our members and partners to keep abreast of the complex policy agenda and make sense of an increasingly fluid and diverse healthcare system.

We bring together our members and partners from across health and social care to create dialogue, share learning, and build understanding and effective joint-working across all parts of the system.

Delivering industry-wide support functions

We provide added value for our members and the wider healthcare system through the delivery of industry-wide support functions including:

• the NHS Employers organisation
• the NHS European Office
• the Service Delivery and Organisation Network and the Health Services Research Network.
