About us

The Health Foundation wants the UK to have a healthcare system of the highest possible quality – safe, effective, person-centred, timely, efficient and equitable. We believe that in order to achieve this, health services need to continually improve the way they work.

We are here to inspire and create the space for people, teams, organisations and systems to make lasting improvements to health services.

Working at every level of the healthcare system, we aim to develop the technical skills, leadership, capacity, knowledge, and the will for change, that are essential for real and lasting improvement.

The Health Foundation is an independent charity working to achieve high quality healthcare for everyone. Care that is:

  • safe
  • effective
  • person-centred
  • timely
  • efficient
  • and equitable.

We believe that in order to achieve this, health services need to continually improve the way they work. We are here to inspire and create the space for people, teams, and organisations in the NHS to make lasting change.
