To successfully influence policy we represent members' views, promote leading-edge thinking and good practice and shape the public debate.

Representing members' views

Through constant dialogue with Government and other key policy-makers, we ensure members' experience is taken into account at each stage of the policy-making process and that policy is realistic and achievable.

Promoting leading-edge thinking and good practice

We act as a catalyst for new ideas by creating an arena for debate and bringing together a wide range of interests.

Shaping the public debate

We provide the voice of NHS leadership in the media and political debate, highlighting the NHS' challenges, solutions and achievements.
