NHS Confederation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The NHS Confederation is an association of English National Health Service (NHS) bodies and organisations associated with the NHS.

It is an independent organisation which includes amongst its objectives:

  • influencing health policy and the wider public debate
  • supporting health leaders with information-sharing, networking and tailor-made services
  • promoting excellence in employment to improve the working lives of healthcare staff

The confederation claims 92% membership from NHS bodies, and also includes other outside bodies and private sector organisations in its membership.

In 2004 the confederation formed NHS Employers, which represents all NHS organisations in England in their roles as employers (whether or not they are members of the Confederation).
