The Health Foundation is a charitable foundation working to improve the quality of healthcare across the UK and beyond. In partnership with others, we are helping to shape a future healthcare system that offers safe, effective and responsive care for all.
We want patients to get the best available care – wherever and whenever they access it. We want to close the gap between what we know to be the best care and what patients routinely receive.
Our endowment enables us to spend more than £20 million annually to find ways to accelerate the improvement of patient care. We seek out the best people in healthcare and support them to learn and share with others. Through projects, research and evaluation studies we test and measure new ways of improving health care.
We are independent of government, political parties, the commercial sector or other interest groups. This allows us to take a long-term view and to work across professional and national boundaries.
We see our role as bridging the gaps between policy, practice and research. We aim to use the evidence generated from our work to influence healthcare policy and achieve sustainable and widespread improvements in the quality of patient care for the future.
