| Overarching quality improvement objectives to: reduce unit and network level variation through benchmarking, outlier identification and management, sharing best practice and quality improvement (QI) examples, and signposting to resources available in the wider neonatal care system nationally, to seek to reach agreed developmental standards for process measures where care currently falls below those standards report outcome measures and their variation between units and networks collaborate with other audits to improve neonatal care adapt to new and emerging quality improvement priorities. | 2006 – 2019: NNRD

| CRGs consist of clinicians, commissioners, public health experts, patient and public voice representatives and professional associations which offer specific knowledge and expertise to advise NHS England and NHS Improvement on the best ways that specialised services should be provided. Lead on the development of clinical commissioning policies, service specifications and quality standards. Provide clinical advice on innovation, horizon scanning, service reviews and guide work to reduce variation and deliver increased value. Ensure that any changes to the commissioning of specialised services focus on the needs of patients and the public with the support of their patient and public voice representatives. | Various | England | NHSE Specialised Commissioning | Commissioning products SSQD | |
| Support providers in delivering service improvements and efficiency improvements through identification of areas of unwarranted variation in clinical practice and/or divergence from the best evidence. Each workstream culminates in a report and a set of national recommendations aimed at improving the quality of care and also reducing expenditure on complications, litigation, procurement and unproven treatment. This work also supports the development of the which enables NHS hospital Trusts/Boards to compare areas of efficiency and productivity alongside their quality indicators and standards. | NHS Digital (many sources NHS data) Clevermed MBRRACE NNAP GIRFT Questionnaires | England | NHS England/Improvement | Individual Trust & Network datapacks National Reports: Combined RCPCH workforce snapshot Sept 2020; GIRFT National Neonatology Report; and GIRFT Neonatology Workforce Reports | |
