Profiles and maps for particular health related issues

The Public Health Observatories produce several profiles and mapping tools that give more detail about particular health issues. These do not always present information at local authority level. Some of them focus on Primary Care Trusts, as the profiles are intended to be used by people planning PCT services.

• Local Alcohol Profiles for England
• Diabetes Community Health Profiles
• End of Life Care Profiles      
• National Obesity Observatory Maps  
• Sexual Health Balanced Scorecard 
• Skin Cancer Hub
• Urological Cancer Profiles
• Local Tobacco Control Profiles for England

Profiles for particular groups of people

• ChiMat, the Child and Maternal Health Observatory, produce information and profiles on issues that particularly affect health for children, young people and mothers. 
• Older People Profiles show indicators relating to older people's health for all local authorities in England. 

Profiles for areas outside England

Scotland and Wales Public Health Observatories produce health profiles for their areas. These use different content and presentation formats to the profiles for England. No profiles are currently produced for Ireland.

• Community Health and Wellbeing Profiles are produced for areas by the Scottish Public Health Observatory.
• Pictures of Health for local authorities in Wales are produced by the Public Health Wales Observatory.
• Ireland and Northern Ireland PHO offers some local information for it's areas, however not in a form of profiles at the moment.

On an even wider scale, the European project I2SARE (Health Inequalities Indicators in the Regions of Europe) produces a health profile for each region of the European Union. Visit the I2SARE website for more information.
