Public Health Dashboard
Introduction
The purpose of the dashboard is to support local decision-making by bringing existing comparative data into one place and making it accessible and meaningful to a wide audience.
The Fingertips-associated profile contains the component indicators that are used to generate the summary ranks. They are split into the following domains:
- Best start in life
- Child obesity
- Drug treatment
- Alcohol treatment
- NHS Health Checks
- Sexual health services
- Tobacco control
- Air quality
By accessing the Fingertips-associated profile, users can utilise the various functions of the Fingertips platform, such as trend analysis and the ability to compare indicators.
