Fingertips guidance
Fingertips profiles are a rich source of indicators across a range of health and wellbeing themes. They are designed to support Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) and commissioning to improve health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities.
With these profiles you can:
- browse indicators at different geographical levels
- benchmark against the regional or England average
- export data to use locally
These profiles have been developed by the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities.
Using Fingertips
You can find support for using Fingertips in the following places:
- Public Health Intelligence Online: a workspace that brings together the public health intelligence community of England to connect with their Local Knowledge and Intelligence Service and the wider public health community
- Fingertips webinars: training sessions for the public health community in how to use Fingertips. These can be accessed through PHI Online
