Physical Activity Programme map in the South East
The Physical activity programme map for the South East is an interactive map of physical activity programmes running in each local authority in the South East. The map was first published in January 2011. You can use the map to find the location, by local authority area, of large-scale physical activity programmes and services. The map is designed for commissioners and practitioners working in the public, private and voluntary physical activity sectors.
South East England Indicator Tool (SEEIT)
SEEIT, The South East England Indicator Tool, is an interactive tool produced by the Department of Health South East which combines trend data for a range of National Indicators and Vital Signs with short-term projections and LAA trajectories and NHS Operating Plans for all Local Authorities and Primary Care Trusts in South East England.
General Practice Profiles
These profiles are designed to assist GPs, consortia and PCTs to ensure that they are providing and commissioning effective and appropriate healthcare services for their local population.
Disease Prevalence Models
Informing Healthier Choices commissioned the Association of Public Health Observatories to develop Prevalence Models for some of the long term diseases which, taken together, place a major burden on the health of the population. They are available on line and are easy to use.
Health Inequalities Gap Measurement Tool
The Health Inequalities Gap Measurement Tool has been produced by the Department of Health South East, SEPHO and LHO and provides detailed information on the nature and extent of the health inequalities gap within and between all Local Authority and NHS areas in England.
Health Inequalities Intervention toolkit
To support Primary Care Trusts and local authorities, the Association of Public Health Observatories and Department of Health have developed the Health Inequalities Intervention Toolkit. This is designed to assist evidence-based local service planning and commissioning, including Joint Strategic Needs Assessments.
The Sport and Activity Planning Tool
The Sport and Activity planning tool has been developed by the London Health Observatory (LHO) and Make Sport Fun for the Department of Health and NHS partners, and based on Sport England’s proprietary Market Segmentation tool.
The Health Poverty Index
The HPI tool allows groups, differentiated by geography and cultural identity, to be contrasted in terms of their 'health poverty’. A group's 'health poverty' is a combination of both its present state of health and its future health potential or lack of it. The key justification for the selection of a particular set of groups is the expectation of an equal distribution of health and its determinants between the groups in a just society.
Themed Health Profiles
Useful links to topic based local health profiles and themed observatories. Resources include South East specific profiles and national level themed profiles.
Data calculation tools
A selection of links to downloadable tools from APHO that allow calculation of common public health methods, including SPC funnel plots, directly standardised rates, confidence intervals and life expectancy calculations.
Methods
APHO technical briefings
APHO publishes a series of Technical Briefings. The briefings are intended to be practical, "how to" guides, designed to support health practitioners and analysts, and to promote the use of public health intelligence in decision making.
The Good Indicator Guide
The guide is intended to be a short, practical resource for anyone in any health system who is responsible for using indicators to monitor and improve performance, systems or outcomes.
