We gather and share information on the performance and activity of NHS providers, to help them provide sustainable high quality services. Our work focuses on the following areas:

Key information on NHS providers: We collect information to give the NHS, the public and the media the headline facts and figures on the structure and activity of NHS providers of ambulance, acute, community and mental health care. This includes information on who NHS providers are, what they do and how much it costs.

Surveys: We represent over 220 NHS provider organisations, giving us a unique position to capture the views of the sector. Our survey programme gives us an evidence base to underpin our influencing work and provide an up-to-date and relevant insight into the provider sector.

Provider case studies: There are many examples of NHS providers developing innovative solutions to improve patient experience and deliver services more efficiently. We collect and share case studies to spread the knowledge and expertise of our members.

NHS performance: There is a wealth of public data about NHS performance. Each quarter we summarise key national data in our provider sector healthcheck, as well as signposting where you can find more detail. You can also find information on our benchmarking work.

Winter pressures: The NHS frontline is always under considerable pressure over the winter period as demand for services tends to increase significantly with the onset of cold weather and flu. We have published a series of resources about winter pressures, including what trusts have been doing to prepare, and a weekly update as NHS England publish their weekly sitrep data over winter
