NNAP Reporting Dashboards

Learn about and access the National Neonatal Audit Programmes (NNAP) reporting dashboards.

About the NNAP

The NNAP assesses whether babies admitted to neonatal units in England, Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Man receive consistent high quality care. We identify areas for quality improvement in relation to the delivery and outcomes of care.

NNAP data is reported using three different dashboards. The two publicly avalible dashboards are:

  • NNAP Online - annual reporting of validated, published unit, network and national level results. Access NNAP Online here.
  • Public Access Dashboard (PAD) - monthly reporting of provisional unit, network and national level results. Access the Public Access Dashboard here. 

The dashboard that is restricted to unit or network teams is: 

  • Restricted Access Dashboard (RAD) - monthly reporting of patient level provisional data. Access the RAD via the navigation button on the PAD here.
NNAP Online

This online reporting tool presents audit results from 2014 to 2024. You can:

  • view an overall annual summary report for a selected neonatal unit or network for 2014 to 2024 NNAP results.
  • view and compare the results for specific NNAP audit measures for different units, unit designations or networks.
  • go to the outlier analysis section to view whether a result for a unit or network is outside the expected range.
  • download unit posters for NNAP 2024 data.

Access NNAP Online here.

Public Access Dashboard

The Public Access Dashboard (PAD) presents results for each of the 10 NNAP performance metrics as annual rolling averages, updated monthly. Results can be displayed for neonatal units, Integrated Care Systems and Health Boards (Wales and Scotland), and by neonatal network. There is detail on the Information and FAQ screens within the dashboard.

It includes:

  • England and Wales - results relating to babies admitted for neonatal care in an NHS neonatal unit from 1 January 2017, unless otherwise stated.
  • Scotland - results relating to babies admitted for neonatal care in an NHS neonatal unit from 1 April 2022, unless otherwise stated.
  • Isle of Man - results relating to babies admitted for neonatal care in an NHS neonatal unit from 1 January 2023, unless otherwise stated. 

The data is provisional and may be subject to change between updates and before the publication of the NNAP annual summary report. Data are considered unassured until the first update after 1 April each year.

Results are calculated using the latest definition of the metric, so it is expected that results within the dashboard will vary from previously published results.

Access the Public Access Dashboard here. 

Restricted Access Dashboard

The Restricted Access Dashboard (RAD) provides the underlying data for the NNAP performance measures to participants, visible only to neonatal units and networks. The data is refreshed monthly and presented in time series charts, tabular data, and an interactive patient list.

The RAD is intended to be used by participating neonatal units and networks for data cleaning and quality improvement purposes only. It is important to note that the data in the RAD is provisional and subject to change. Data is considered unassured until the first update after 1 April each year.

Access to the RAD is determined by the NNAP lead of each neonatal unit, and the Clinical lead or Manager of Neonatal Networks. To access the RAD, we ask the NNAP lead of each neonatal unit to email nnap@rcpch.ac.uk with the name, role title and email address of users that require access.

Access the Restricted Access Dashboard via the navigation button on the PAD here.
