2008 CHP profiles
Welcome to the new Community Health and Wellbeing Profiles for Community Health Partnerships (CHPs), Community Health and Care Partnerships (CHCPs) and Community Health and Social Care Partnerships (CHSCPs) in Scotland.
The new profiles, produced by the Scottish Public Health Observatory (ScotPHO) team at the Information Services Division (ISD) of NHS National Services Scotland, comprise 61 indicators of health and wider determinants of health. A separate note below gives details of profiles for the 10 CHCPs in Greater Glasgow & Clyde. The profiles are designed to:
- Provide organisations and communities with up-to-date and locally-relevant public health intelligence.
- Highlight health and social inequalities.
- Show trends in key indicators.
- Provide local information for targeting resources and priority-setting.
- Develop knowledge of the complex nature of health and its determinants.
In addition to the individual CHP profile reports we have produced:
- A Scotland Overview report (which includes data for NHS boards);
- A full Technical Report;
- 'Tips for using the Scottish health and wellbeing profiles data'; and
- An interactive Excel based tool that provides users with access to the full profiles data, for further analysis; along with the facility to generate individual spine graphs for small areas (intermediate geography zones) as well as CHPs and NHS boards; and to produce rank charts for all intermediate geography zones (IZs) within a CHP, all CHPs within Scotland or all NHS boards (for all indicators). The tool is available by following the link to CHP profiles - interactive excel tool.
Please note: It has come to our attention that the data for indicator 22 "Unintentional injuries in the home - patients aged 65+"and indicator 61"Unintentional injuries in the home - patients < 15" were reported incorrectly in the CHP and Scotland profiles reports published in June 2008. We have not updated the original reports, however, the correct data for these indicators can now be found within the interactive excel tool and data spreadsheets.
Please note: Detailed profiles for the ten CHCPs (Community Health and Care Partnerships) within the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area have been prepared separately by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH). These are available below by following the links to the GCPH community profiles web pages. Please note too that there are some differences between the indicators used in the Glasgow profiles and the national profiles which mean that the two sets of profiles are not directly comparable.
Profiles News/Future Developments
We have now closed our 2008 Profiles evaluation, the results from this survey will be published in a report at the end March 2010.
The evaluation will inform the development of 'Community Health and Wellbeing Profiles 2010'. These will be published towards the end of 2010 and will now include the 10 CHPs/CHCPs for Glasgow (previously produced by GCPH for 2008). Beyond completing the evaluation survey, anyone wanting to contribute further to the development of profiles 2010, or to be on the project board, should get in touch with andrew.gasiorowski@nhs.net in the ScotPHO team.
