The Evolve Collaborative

We collect, analyse and publish extensive measures and reports on comparative trust performance. And we foster vibrant learning spaces where members share what works and drive improvements that make a tangible difference for patients. 

• Ready now – no complex IT integration is necessary, with the data already there, already live, already waiting to be used.
• Value that gives back – because 50% of membership fees are reinvested into the NHS Alliance member community, Evolve creates value far beyond the organisations that use it.
• A future view – AI-powered predictive analytics that give you a view of where you could be, not just where you are.
• Insight plus action – combining data and peer learning, not analytics in isolation.
• Smarter comparison – genuine peer matching and episode-level analysis to support confident decisions.
• Proven at scale – backed by 30 years of impact across 200+ hospitals in Australia and New Zealand.

Access to the platform and our learning communities will benefit a wide range of staff, including:

• Chief financial officers, who can use it to lead peer learning programmes that generate meaningful cost avoidance and savings.

• Senior clinical leaders, who can gain visibility of quality and outcome performance against comparable services.

• Board teams, who can evidence organisational performance with credibility that self-reported data cannot match.

Evolve is designed for: 

• Executive and board leaders
• Chief finance officers and finance teams
• Digital and information leaders
• Clinical and operational leaders
• Analysts and improvement teams

Under pressure to boost productivity, quality and value, trusts need a system that delivers timely, predictive insight and a peer mechanism to turn that insight into action across organisations.

Your membership will support your organisation and board to have effective conversations, develop robust plans and drive efficiencies, while maintaining a clear view of future opportunities and challenges.
