NHS Benchmarking Database

Good data is an essential part of planning your workforce or services, but where can you find all the data you require? Skills for Health - Workforce Projects Team developed the NHS Benchmarking Database tool to provide you with a single access point to a range of acute sector, mental health, PCT, plus new ambulance and maternity NHS data sources.

New Search Engine

A new and easy to use search engine to support the five databases has been developed. The new search engine makes the database easy to use and gives you the information you need within seconds. You can access over 900 different variables and compare your organisation to single or multiple ones across the NHS.

How to use the database >>>

Simply log in to the online system to access all the information you require to support your workforce, commissioning and service planning benchmarking needs. For further information or assistance please contact workforceprojectsteam@skillsforhealth.org.uk.

Variables for each organisation include:

Activity statistics: from referral times and bed days to emergency admissions
Demographics : from disease prevalence and morbidity to BEM breakdowns and age and housing profiles of your local population
Organisational information: from consultant episodes and establishment numbers through to day case rates, Healthcare Commission healthcheck ratings and patient satisfaction survey results
Staffing information: from sickness rates to staff satisfaction survey results
Waiting information: from A&E and cancer wait targets to GP access and delivery of community equipment.
