The National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) is a national clinical audit run by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) on behalf of the NHS. It is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP).

The NNAP aims to helps neonatal units improve care for babies and their families by identifying areas for quality improvement in relation to the delivery and outcomes of care.

NNAP Online is a reporting tool which provides access to audit results.

You can use NNAP Online to:

• view an overall annual summary report for a chosen neonatal unit or network for 2014 to 2022 NNAP results
• view and compare the results for specific NNAP audit measures for different units, unit designations or networks
• view, via the outlier analysis section, whether a 2022 result for a unit or network is outside the expected range (available from 12th October 2023)
• download a unit-specific poster of NNAP results for display in your unit (available from 12th October 2023)

Links to other resources produced by the NNAP, including the summary report, guide for parents and carers, and summary poster are available below.

Detailed audit results are now also available via the new NNAP data dashboard. The dashboard presents results for each of the 10 NNAP performance metrics introduced in 2023 as annual rolling averages, updated quarterly. Results can be displayed for neonatal units, Integrated Care Systems and Health Boards (Wales and Scotland), and by neonatal network and can be found here: www.rcpch.ac.uk/NNAP-data-dashboard
