Number of remote clinical advice services in an area per 1,000 population (10305) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file, the file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of remote clinical advice services located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services provide, as their sole or main purpose, a range of clinical services to people from a distance in an urgent or emergency situation. The initial consultation is usually with a non-clinical call handler who may triage to a clinician. They may provide care, treatment and support to people using: Telephone systems, Digital systems, Email.
The services may include:- Simple clinical advice and reassurance
- Diagnosis
- Health screening
- Prescription of medicines
- Referral to another clinical service.
Examples of services that fit under this category: NHS 111.
Data are extracted once a quarter and provide a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.
