HQIP is an independent charity and partner of the NHS that aims to improve healthcare services & patient outcomes through clinical audit & quality improvement.
📢NEW report from the @HealthFdn NHS Productivity Commission calls for a greater focus on outcomes and more effective use of data, to enable the NHS in England to “deliver high-quality patient care and remain on a sustainable footing.”
@HQIP's update explores the important role of national clinical audits and outcome reviews - and the data that is already being collected - in meeting this ambition.
🗣️@Chris_Gush, HQIP CEO, explains: “They are an existing national asset for productivity, not an optional extra.”
A patient’s chances of surviving a hip fracture can depend more on the hospital where they are treated than their age, sex, ethnicity or socioeconomic background, according to the latest National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) report, published in September 2026 by @HQIP.
Focused on inequalities, the report also highlights a need for more universal provision of care to be provided by fracture liaison services, calling on hospitals and other parts of the healthcare system to work more closely together to prevent secondary hip fractures.
