The National Consultant Information Programme (NCIP) is a free data platform that allows consultants to review their own data: improving clinical quality, patient safety and supporting career development. Back
Consultants can get a unique view of their whole NHS practice, with locally and nationally benchmarked data covering activity and outcomes, down to patient level.
It’s been developed by clinicians, for clinicians. Our clinical leads, other consultants and data experts work together to create dashboards that are accurate and meaningful for each featured specialty.
What specialties does it cover?
NCIP provides a single source of robust, nationally benchmarked data, which is updated every three months.
We are rolling out NCIP by specialty and inviting relevant consultants to sign up. It’s currently available for:
- Urology
