NHS Providers' policy development and influencing work is focused on promoting and protecting our members' interests against a backdrop of a rapidly changing health and social care system, and an extremely challenging financial context.

We develop policy solutions grounded in practice, produced in partnership with our members, based on their experience and our wide-ranging knowledge of member needs and how services work.

Working closely with government, parliamentarians and industry regulators, our understanding of policy-making and the political context ensures that the voice of NHS public providers is heard at the highest levels.

NHS Providers is a politically neutral organisation and we work with parties from across the political spectrum. We attend the main party conferences to discuss key policy issues with party members and leaders.
