The Evolve Collaborative

Driving change together, powered by data

Tackling the challenges facing the NHS we need a radical new approach, with new ways of working and the curiosity to seek solutions together.

The Evolve Collaborative is an opportunity to join a proven model for improvement, one that combines the strength of peer learning with the power of data. Together, we can transform care for the better.

What is the Evolve Collaborative?

Evolve is data with purpose; it’s about creating spaces where members share what works (and what doesn’t), learn from one another, and drive improvements that make a real difference for patients. Real change needs psychological safety, not another league table.

What makes Evolve unique is its foundation in collaboration and a track record of success internationally. This model has been transformative in Australia, helping healthcare providers to deliver safer and more effective care. Now, we’re carefully adapting that proven approach for the NHS - driven by the insights and actions of our members, powered by data.

The Evolve Collaborative is a partnership between NHS Confederation, the leading membership body bringing together all parts of the health and care system, and Beamtree, an Australian Health data and analytics specialist.

The NHS holds vast amounts of data, yet too little of it is put to good use.
Too often, the focus is on retrospective reporting and assurance rather than forward-looking improvement.
Efforts to scale and share learning have fallen short, leaving opportunities to reduce unnecessary differences between trusts untapped.
Meanwhile, significant public funds have been spent on isolated solutions that offer only a narrow, historic view of a single trust’s performance without delivering the long-term intelligence and collaborative learning needed to drive real change.
Trusts now face mounting pressure to boost productivity, raise standards, reduce variation, and deliver maximum value for every pound invested.
A new way of working is vital.

Evolve inspires change by creating trusted spaces for collaboration and learning. Curiosity is encouraged, and psychological safety allows members to share openly.
Through structured peer-to-peer programmes, members come together to explore shared challenges and learn from one another. Supported by advanced analytics, including predictive forecasting, we help teams move beyond retrospective reporting -focusing on insight and improvement, not league tables.
Our secure benchmarking platform combines national datasets with machine learning and predictive analytics to forecast trends and tackle emerging challenges. It moves beyond historic reporting, enabling trusts to compare performance across peers and regions, identify variation, and unlock in-year savings. With interactive, tailored reports for all teams, the platform evolves with the programme, aiming to incorporate additional data sets for even richer insights.
By combining the strength of shared experience and the power of data, The Evolve Collaborative empowers clinicians, boards, and operational leaders to tackle the issues that matter most, together. Co-designed with our members, this collaborative approach ensures solutions are practical, relevant, and focused on improving outcomes for patients.
