New 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; and
- Supporting Excel data files containing data for the 61 profile indicators, including trends over time, for a range of geographies (Scotland, NHS Boards, CHPs, intermediate geography zones and locally defined areas) to allow further analyses of the data. These are available by following the link to CHP profiles - data files.
We also plan to make available, in early 2009, an interactive tool that will allow users to download spine charts, time trend and rank charts for a range of indicators and geographies.
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.
