The Evolve Collaborative
Driving change together, powered by data.
Tackling the challenges facing the NHS needs a radical approach, with new ways of working and the curiosity to seek solutions together.
The Evolve Collaborative is an opportunity to join a proven model for improvement, combining the strength of peer learning with the power of data. It is an opportunity to improve together and raise the standard together.
We believe the NHS needs collective leadership. Not more reporting, but collective intelligence shared, acted on, and used to drive real improvement. That conviction is why we teamed up with data analytics experts Beamtree to launch The Evolve Collaborative.
Evolve is not another dashboard or an isolated tool for your analytics team. It is a platform built specifically for NHS leaders and their teams that draws on 30 years of proven impact across more than 200 hospitals in Australia and New Zealand.
Through The NHS Alliance's partnership with Beamtree, it is being made available across the NHS with the data already there for all acute trusts, already live, already waiting to be used.

What does The Evolve Collaborative do?
Membership allows leaders to observe where their organisation stands, to explore how you compare with genuinely peer-matched organisations/services, and analyse at episode level as required. Market leading predictive analytics, intelligent peering, national HES and ECDS datasets all in one place, requiring no IT integration and no specialist analytical skills from your team. Just curious, motivated leaders willing to let data inform their decisions.
The results from those who have used it seriously are striking in Australia and New Zealand. Chief Financial Officers are using it to lead peer learning programmes that generate meaningful cost avoidance and savings. Senior clinical leaders have visibility of quality and outcome performance against comparable services. Board teams are able to evidence their organisation's performance with credibility that self-reported data cannot match.
The Evolve Collaborative is an opportunity to join a proven model for improvement, combining the strength of peer learning with the power of data. It is an opportunity to improve together and raise the standard together.
This is not a commercial add-on. It is a deliberate model to reinvest in the NHS Alliance member community: 50 per cent of Evolve Collaborative membership fees flow back to the NHS Alliance, directly funding the support, services and advocacy we provide on behalf of members.
What makes The Evolve Collaborative unique?
- Insight plus action – combining data and peer learning, not analytics in isolation.
- A future view – AI-powered predictive analytics that give you a view of where you could be, not just where you are.
- Ready now – already live for all acute trusts in England, with no complex IT integration.
- 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.
- Value that gives back – because half of all membership fees are reinvested into the NHS Alliance member community, Evolve creates value far beyond the organisations that use it.
