About us

Independent reporting on the UK health sector

National Health Sector exists to explain how health and care in the United Kingdom is planned, paid for and delivered. We report on NHS trusts and integrated care boards, hospital construction and estates, digital programmes, the workforce and the suppliers who work alongside them.

Our readers are the people who make decisions inside the sector. That shapes what we publish: clear reporting, verified numbers and analysis that respects your time. We do not publish sponsored coverage disguised as journalism, and commercial partnerships are always labelled.

The publication is operated by Amigo Media Group, a UK registered company. If you have a story, a correction or a document you think we should see, our newsroom is easy to reach through the contact page.
