Health Profiles 2009 launched 30th June
The health profiles website includes electronic (pdf) versions of all the new profiles, interactive maps, data available to download, and details of how the indicators are constructed.
Dr Paul Cosford, Regional Director of Public Health, said "The annual health profiles are an important indicator for health in the east of England. They give us a snapshot of how healthy we are as a region."
 | East of England Practice Profiles Tool 2009
The tool provides, for almost every GP practice in the region: local demographics; estimated prevalence rates; Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) indicators; admission rates; patient satisfaction; and comparisons for all practices within PCTs and against East of England averages.
| | Commissioning brief No. 1: Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) in the East of England
This is the first in a new series of Commissioning briefs from erpho, designed to support PCTs and practice‐based commissioners to become World Class Commissioners.
