World-class healthcare can only be delivered through an integrated system in which every part works to improve outcomes for patients.
In the UK, expertise in areas such as funding, strategy, regulation, training, innovation and delivery comes together to make our NHS one of the world’s very best healthcare systems. It has evolved over nearly 70 years and continues to do so.
But achieving this level of excellence need not take you decades. All the know-how and experience that makes the NHS so successful is available to you now.
You can partner with organisations from our rich ecosystem of public and private sector bodies, to support every aspect of health system development. By doing so you will be joining healthcare providers worldwide who use UK expertise to deliver sustainable, fair and high-quality services.
Your simplest way of accessing this expertise is through Healthcare UK, the UK government’s specialists in international healthcare partnership working.

- whole system change or service reconfiguration
- sustainable improvement in service quality and value for money
- regulation and quality assurance
