National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) - past annual reports and data

NNAP assesses whether babies admitted to neonatal units receive consistently high-quality care in relation to the audit measures. This page links to the downloadable annual reports and resources from the audit years, 2010 to 2023.

Data from the NNAP need careful interpretation. It should not be considered in isolation when assessing standards of care. Data files should be considered alongside their accompanying annual report to support interpretation.

All links are PDFs unless otherwise marked.

You can read the most recent summary report and resources from the 2024 audit year.
