The Health Protection Profile covers a range of health protection issues, with information on various infections, but also interventions to reduce infection such as immunisation. They have been created with the public in mind, so that people can find out more about the areas that they live and work in. The information can help inform choices regarding health and lifestyle and improve awareness of local health protection risks. However, they should also be of use to professionals who work on health protection matters locally, including Local Authorities and Health Protection Teams.
This profile aims to collate Health Protection information in a single Profile at a Local Authority and PHE Centre level. This profile has unique content, such as gastrointestinal infections, Measles, Mumps, Pertussis, Legionella, Typhoid/Paratyphoid, Acute Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C detection, Scarlet fever. However, many indicators are brought together from different profiles (PHOF, TB, antimicrobial resistance, sexual and reproductive health and liver disease) and these other profiles should be accessed for more detailed information and other indicators in those areas.
The data is grouped into topic area domains. Some indicators have upper tier local authority (counties and unitary authorities), lower tier local authority (districts and unitary authorities) and PHE Centre level data. However, for other indicators data is not available at PHE Centre or unitary level (e.g. immunisation data).
