NHS Improvement now closed

NHS Improving Quality (NHS IQ) now exists to bring together the wealth of knowledge, expertise and experience of a number of former NHS improvement organisations.

NHS IQ is hosted by NHS England, previously known as the NHS Commissioning Board.

The work on this part of our website does not form part of the work to continue within NHS IQ and therefore will not be updated going forward.
