Independent Healthcare Network Providers

As a network of many different organisations across the sector, IHPN provides a forum for collaboration between our members and wider stakeholders in independent healthcare. Our calendar of events is full of opportunities for you and your colleagues to keep updated on the latest developments in UK healthcare and hear from key influencers in the sector. To foster this collaboration, we run regular forums across a range of areas including finance, HR, digital, clinical, as well as sector groups that bring together hospitals, diagnostic providers, specialist ophthalmology, insourcers, primary care, and community providers.

IHPN engages with national system, professional and healthcare regulators and medical royal colleges – including the CQC, GMC and NHS England. Through our cross-sector work programme we influence national patient safety and quality strategy, keep members informed of latest developments and support patient safety improvement

A key aspect of our work is to engage with policy makers and politicians, helping to position the sector as a key contributor to UK healthcare for both NHS and private patients
