Unveiling the new NHSBN website and NHSFutures Workspace
Following the launch of the 2024/25 Member Work Programme on 11th April 2024. The NHS Benchmarking Network is delighted to unveil its highly anticipated new website, NHSFutures Workspace and new look members’ area.
Website
Taking onboard the feedback we received in our annual member survey, we have developed an easy to navigate, exciting and resourceful website to meet the needs of our members. Whether you're seeking membership information, member project details, the date of an upcoming event or simply to access our members’ area, we have you covered.
You’ll notice several changes to our site compared to the old site. We’ve updated the navigation and refined the categories to focus on our core elements. You’ll now also find our events under the ‘What we do’ section, and an events calendar to allow you to see all the upcoming events more easily.
To explore the new website and experience all of its new features, visit https://www.nhsbenchmarking.nhs.uk/ today!
Members’ area
Our members’ area has also seen some updates including:
Projects that your organisation has registered for will now be displayed first under ‘your current projects’ on the home page
Information on the project stage (e.g. ‘data collection closes in 14 days’).
The introduction of a sector filter and search box to make it easy for users to find projects of interest.
The left-hand side of the home screen now shows upcoming events, resources and the new NHSFutures workspace.
A resources page which pulls together the resources from across the Network projects into one easy access area. Resources found here include project overview reports, infographics, case studies and event documents.
NHSFutures Workspace
Feedback received in the member survey and from consultation on our website Forum page, recommended that the Network should have its own NHSFutures workspace. We have now launched our NHSFutures Workspace, please take a look and let us know your thoughts (https://future.nhs.uk/BenchmarkingNetwork).
The workspace aims to bring together individuals from our member organisations to network and collaborate with each other as well as with the Network’s Support Team. We encourage you to participate and generate discussion topics in our dedicated sector forums, sharing how you have used Network data for good practice.
On the left hand side of the workspace homepage, you’ll see our resources and forums. We have broken these down by sector and we welcome thoughts on whether a further breakdown by project would be helpful.
To join our workspace: follow this link https://future.nhs.uk/BenchmarkingNetwork and click join at the top of the page. Once access has been granted, you’ll be free to explore all the resources available. Over the coming weeks we will continue to add content to the site, so we encourage you to check back regularly.
Finally, we’d like to thank all of our members for their contributions and feedback to make these updates possible. If you have any feedback on the website, members’ area or NHSFutures workspace, please do get in contact at enquiries@nhsbenchmarking.nhs.uk.
