The NHS Confederation brings together the full range of organisations that make up the modern NHS in the UK.
We act as an independent and powerful force in the drive for better health and healthcare. We do this by:
- influencing health policy and the wider public debate
- supporting health leaders with information-sharing, networking and tailor-made services
- promoting excellence in employment to improve the working lives of healthcare staff.
Our work is determined by our members. Our aim is to reflect the different perspectives as well as the common views of the many organisations delivering the new NHS.
Our core membership covers all types of statutory NHS organisation. Our members are the organisations themselves and these organisations are represented by individuals from board level – chief executives, chairs, non-executives and directors. We also have an affiliate membership scheme for commercial and not-for-profit organisations providing frontline services on behalf of the NHS.
Across the UK, The Confederation has devolved responsibility for meeting member needs to:
