Health Profiles have been produced annually since 2006, providing a snapshot overview of health for each local authority in England. The aim of the Health Profiles has been to improve the availability and accessibility of health and health related information whilst helping local government and health services make plans to improve local people's health and reduce health inequalities.
Through time, as the quantity, quality and availability of health-related information has increased, the Health Profiles have evolved from an annual pdf snapshot report to also include an online, interactive Health Profiles tool which allows data to be updated regularly (the online tool is updated quarterly with the latest information available).
The Health Profiles currently include 31 indicators, including factors that affect health and important health outcomes. These are reviewed regularly to ensure that they reflect important public health topics.
The pdf documents were last updated in September 2016 and can be downloaded using the Find your Health Profile section above or via the Download section of the Health Profiles online tool.
