The Independent Healthcare Providers Network, formerly known as the NHS Partners Network, is a representative body for independent sector healthcare providers in the United Kingdom.
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]
