Find CIP ideas that other NHS teams have already implemented.
Search schemes contributed by participating NHS organisations. See what they actually did, what was delivered against plan, what worked and what didn't — and, where available, contact the people who led the work.
Illustrative view. Signed-in members see the full scheme record, delivery outcomes, contributed learning and named leads where they have chosen to be contactable.
Good CIP ideas exist. They're just trapped inside individual organisations.
CIP Library turns scattered local experience into a searchable, shared record that other NHS teams can learn from.
Learning stays local
Every organisation is working to identify CIP savings, but the schemes, assumptions and delivery experience rarely travel beyond the team that ran them.
The same ideas, rediscovered
Teams spend planning cycles re-inventing schemes that have already been tried elsewhere — including the ones that didn't deliver.
One shared place
CIP Library gives participating organisations a common place to contribute schemes and draw on the collective experience of the network.
The plan tells you the intent. The experience tells you what to expect.
Every contributed scheme is a structured record, so you can compare like with like rather than read a slide deck.
The pressure the organisation was responding to, and the service setting it applied to.
What was actually changed — the model, the sequence of work and who was involved.
The financial impact expected at the outset, split recurrent and non-recurrent, with monthly phasing.
What was actually achieved against the plan, including slippage and the reasons behind it.
Roles, establishment and skill-mix implications recorded alongside the financial position.
Milestones, dependencies and the risks that had to be managed to make the change stick.
Honest reflection from the contributing team, with the top lessons for organisations considering the same change.
Where a lead has chosen to be contactable, members can request an introduction through the Library.
Describe the pressure. See what the network has already tried.
Explore uses AI to interpret a challenge in plain English and surface the real schemes in the Library that relate to it. Nothing is invented — every result is a record contributed by an NHS organisation, and local financial, clinical and governance judgement stays with you.

Learning Hub
Practical guidance on identifying, describing and evidencing CIP schemes, so contributions are consistent and easier for other organisations to re-use.
Every member contributes.
Every member learns.
An organisational licence gives agreed teams secure access to search contributed schemes, review delivery learning and share appropriate experience from their own CIP work. In return, their teams gain access to the collective learning contributed across the network.
Shared by agreement, not left to chance.
Limited to participating member organisations
Access provisioned per organisation, managed by their own administrators
Based on defined, structured scheme information
Anonymised where appropriate
Controlled by the contributing organisation
Updated as delivery learning becomes available
Built for CIP and PMO teams, finance teams, operational and clinical teams, and executive teams.
