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.
