The role of a national clinical audit is to stimulate healthcare quality improvement through the provision of high-quality information on the organisation, delivery and outcomes of healthcare, together with tools and support to enable healthcare providers and other audiences to make best use of this information. Outcomes are benchmarked against available national guidance and standards e.g. quality standards from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and those from other established professional and patient sources. Successful national audits are those where the individuals who are engaging with and using the audit results are also in a position to improve the system, and where there is a shared understanding of what good care looks like. National clinical audits are expected to: a.Develop a robust, high-quality audit designed around key quality metrics likely to best support local and national healthcare quality improvement b.Detect, describe and help reduce unwarranted clinical variation by systematically benchmarking performance, identifying outliers, and supporting services to understand variation in outcomes, processes and experience c.Achieve, articulate and maintain close alignment with relevant NICE national guidance and quality standards throughout the audit, as appropriate d.Enable healthcare quality improvement through the provision of timely, high-quality data that compares providers of healthcare, and comprises an integrated mixture of named Trust or Health board, Integrated Care System (ICS), commissioner, multidisciplinary team (MDT), possibly consultant or clinical team level and other levels of reporting e.Engage patients, carers and the public in a meaningful way, achieving a strong patient voice which informs and contributes to the design, functioning, outputs and direction of the audit f.Consider the value and feasibility of linking data at an individual patient level to other relevant national datasets either from the outset or in the future, and plan for these linkages from the inception of the contract g.Ensure robust methodological and statistical input at all stages of the audit h.Identify from the outset the full range of audiences for the reports and other audit outputs, and plan and tailor them accordingly i.Provide audit results in a timely, accessible and meaningful manner to support healthcare quality improvement, minimising the reporting delay and providing continual access to each unit for their own data j.Utilise strong and effective project and programme management to deliver audit outputs on time and within budget k.Develop and maintain strong engagement with local clinicians, networks, commissioners, patients and their families and carers and charity and community support groups to drive improvements in services At the time of writing the specification, requirements include (but please also refer to the potential future aspirational intent section of Annex A - Service Specification): •A continuation of key existing elements of the NPCCA together with an expansion of workstreams to cover additional services and aspects of care delivery •Continued collection and reporting of information on care delivery in Level 3 PCC services and PCC transport services (continuous audit). As a guide, this will need to be broadly aligned with the current delivery and include ongoing provision of data to NHS England for commissioning purposes •Expansion of services covered, to include Level 2 PCC services and ECMO services (continuous audit). As a guide, this will need to be broadly aligned with the current delivery for Level 3 PCC services •Development and delivery of quality methods for capturing the experiences of patients and carers, including the provision of psychological support (this is to be developed by the supplier during the first year, with approval by HQIP and funder). As a guide, the methods might include but are not limited to: patient/carer surveys; organisational audit questions covering aspects of patient/carer experience; and clinical audit questions about whether delivery of care included carers as partners. The development should include co-production with carer and patient representatives (such as charities and family support groups). The supplier will be expected to investigate previously established methods of capturing carer experience as part of the development. As the development will happen during the contract, the tender response does not need to contain specifics, but bidders should provide a broad outline of their ambitions for this aspect (e.g. an expectation to deliver one or multiple methods; frequency of delivery (for each method); scale of delivery (for each method)) •Development and delivery of methods for capturing aspects of service organisation, to include staffing (this is to be developed by the supplier during the first year, either combined with or separate from the development of methods for capturing experience, with approval by HQIP and funder). As a guide, the methods might include but are not limited to: staffing survey(s); organisational I[audit(s). If an organisational audit is chosen, this can be used to cover patient and carer experience too, if deemed appropriate. There have been previous staffing surveys, either as part of the NPCCA or separately funded, and consideration should be given to whether the collection of the same dataset would prove useful and efficient. The minimum requirement is for one method to be delivered once in the three-year contract. Bidders should provide an outline of their ambitions for this aspect (e.g. an expectation to deliver one or multiple methods; frequency of delivery (for each method); scale of delivery (for each method)) •A thematic focus (one during the three-year contract) on a particular aspect of care delivery, chosen from the following topics: oadolescent access; otransport refusals; otransition to tertiary specialists; otransitions from Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to PICU (including delays); otransitions from PICU to Adult Intensive Care Unit (AICU); ovariation in length of stay; oventilator weaning practices; odischarge delays; olong-term ventilation (LTV) pathway; ovaccine preventable disease This is to be developed by the supplier during the first year, with approval by HQIP and funder. Bidders should give information on how they will approach choosing the focus area •Where relevant, data linkage with other programmes (including within NCAPOP) may be required

The purpose of this PIN is to inform market operators of a potential future exercise to procure services supporting the marketing and communications for a new nationwide programme to increase physical activity and reduce inactivity. Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria (HI NENC) is commissioning an agency partner to design and deliver the marketing, PR, and communications strategy for a national behaviour change programme designed to increase physical activity and reduce inactivity across England. The Programme responds directly to the Government's 10 Year Health Plan commitment to motivate millions to walk - and where possible run - regularly. Sir Brendan Foster has convened expert partners to support this. The Programme aims to reframe movement as personal, cumulative and achievable through the core proposition: The Programme is not a traditional sports campaign. It is a long-term national behaviour change movement designed to: - • Increase movement among inactive adults • Address health inequalities • Build a recognisable, inclusive national movement brand • Enable sustainable habit formation through digital tools and rewards • Advertising - including advertising investment to launch and sustain the campaign within the first year. The associated marketing campaign must inspire participation at scale, whilst remaining grounded in behavioural science and public health evidence. The appointed agency will be responsible for developing and delivering a full set of campaign materials, frameworks, strategies, activation plans, toolkits, digital assets, evaluation reports, and all content needed to deliver the programme end to end. This must be aligned to the overall narrative framework. This will include planning major PR and press moments, building momentum towards launch dates and engaging with key stakeholders to strengthen partnerships.
