Local online health tools and atlases

The Local Health Tool, produced as part of the Health Profiles Programme, commissioned by the Department of Health, has recently been updated.

To access the new version, which has a more user-friendly look and feel, and includes a number of new features such as being able to view interactive maps and reports of the small area data set for Joint Strategic Needs Assessment at Middle Super Output Area level and local authority level, visit www.localhealth.org.uk/#v=map1;l=en.

In addition, the Older People’s Health and Wellbeing Atlas provides a snapshot profile of each local authority in England, including interactive maps and charts enable comparisons to be made nationally for over 100 indicators. To access the atlas visit www.wmpho.org.uk/olderpeopleatlas.
