It was formed in 2005 to provide a voice for private health companies, and was initially made up of organisations involved in the government’s Independent Sector Treatment Centre programme.[1] It is part of the NHS Confederation, an independent membership body for organisations in the National Health Service.
The members of the NHS Partners Network are independent healthcare providers including large hospital groups, diagnostics providers, third-sector organisations and providers of primary, community and dental care. They include not-for-profit providers.[2]
Organisation
Following a vote at the 2007 NHS Confederation Annual Conference,[3] the network became part of the NHS Confederation. Since Autumn 2008 its membership has expanded to include independent sector healthcare organisations providing NHS patient care in primary and community care, in addition to diagnostics and acute and elective surgery.
David Hare has been chief executive since November 2013, when he replaced David Worskett.[4] The organisation has a strategic council which includes leaders of some of its largest members.[5]
Response to 2020 pandemic
In March 2020, the IHPN brokered the block-booking by NHS England of almost all services and facilities at the country's private hospitals.[6]
